It's most likely a fox. I don't think if looks like a coyote at all. The ones around here are a complete different color, and not as long

First off you babies are beautiful, and secondly IMO it looks really big to be a fox. In my area foxes are much smaller than that pic.....I dunno

Looks like a fox to me as well.

Yeah, at first I was thinking "fox", but it's legs were really long, and it moved more like a dog/coyote. Also the tail looked way too thin for a fox, but the coloring is right. It wasn't very big, so I wondered if maybe it's a young coyote. That's why I posted it, to see what you guys thought.

I believe that, that DEFINATLY looks like a fox. I have seen a lot of fox and that definatly looks like one. Fox do have pretty long thin legs...
Here's some pics

very thin fox

Definitely a fox. A coyote would be lower to the ground and is a little more scraggly

Not to mention it looks redder and the facial markings are that of a fox.

exactly lol

Yep, Fox!
But look how long it's tail is!

Yup, it looked like a cross between the first one's color & body and the third one's tail, guess I've always thought of foxes looking like the second pic, kind of low to the ground and very furry.

I looked again tonight, no visiter!

Foxes round here ARE low to the ground and furry. If that's a fox, it's weird looking! I guess foxes across the pond look different. He/she's cool though!
