Eastern Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger)

The largest squirrel in the eastern U.S., they are abundant in some parts of their range and are found begging at every park bench. In NC, however, they are rare and are found primarily in dry remnant longleaf pine habitats. Their body coloration is variable from grayish and/or rufous to quite blackish with white on the face.

This individual is motly tawny-gray with the black restricted to the head.

Or is this a black morph Gray Squirrel??
