coyote or fox ID

Did you get a chance to check for tracks ?

Did not get a photo of the tracks and have not had a pic of this aniimal in the last few weeks.

I’m going off the proportions, body framework, and shape. I’m going with fox. Gray or white red. That’s a lotta tail and a little head for a coyote.

New pic today. Don't think this is a fox. Taken by the same game camera as in the original post.

I’ll call that one a coyote for sure. It’s possible that you have multiple critters showing up. I have seen both yotes and fox in my backyard 15 miles SW of Pittsburgh.

View attachment 1078504 Game camera shot at about 25 yards. Three coyotes have been seen in this area during the last two week deer season but am not sure about this animal. What say the coyote hunters? Coyote or fox?

I would guess it is a fox, just does not look tall enough for coyote.

The limited experiece Ive had with them says that the body posture of the first one is a fox. They can hump up their HQ AND look round backed. Ive never seen a coyote do that. They always seen flat or slightly swayed. Theres nothing as a reference point in first photo fo size or perspective.

That one is a coyote, for sure.

There is no doubt about it. Not a gambling man, but I would bet the farm on coyote. That is not a fox of any kind that we have in the US of A.

First picture it's a Fox, short snout and short legs . The legs taper down coyote has longer more powerful legs .
