What is this?

What is this?

Caught on trail cam last week, is my side-yard.

There are 2 squirrels that play on the stone fence, near the cam; one red; one grey.

This is in the Northeast Kingdom of very, very rural VT.

Could it be a piebald of some sort?; it's about the size of a grey squirrel; a love child?

Blowing up the pic, changed the color a bit; its coat is a very, very light, orange/cinnamon color.

Would love suggestions; even snarky ones. :)

It’s a grey squirrel. Lighting effects give the reddish stripe

“White” and “Black” squirrels are not uncommon in some areas. They’re the same species as the standard Grey Squirrel.

We get a few pure white ones, a few black ones here in our area. Just be a recessive gene or something.

These are the ones to be worried about.

Hey. Not *only* are there no darkies, no other ethnicities; except a few stray Canadians.

Where else can you go, sit in waiting room; and have boot & mitten warmers handy? Eh?

Squirrels are fun to watch as long as they aren’t chewing on the bird feeders or the house...which upsets the wife. Me? I’m a live and let live kinda guy. (Although, still have some gifted venison in the freezer.)

Most likely they are twigs and small branches.

Nope, not at all like any of those in the pix.

Will ax at the general store; my go-to guy/owner knows everything about the area.

We have brown squirrels but for the past few years, there’s been a red squirrel in the bunch.

Where in the NEK?

My parents were in Derby for years. Great people in that area. Never a fan of Spring up there.

Looks like maybe strawberry blonde so it might have a bit of a temper. Careful what you say to it.

As one who shares a home with two strawberry blondes, I can attest that this man knoweth that of which he speaks. LoL

Looks like mange. Seems like some of its fur is missing.
