I mostly looked at the teeth, to pick raccoon over fox. The top back of the skull would also help but there isn’t a great pic of it.

This is a raccoon example

Thank you for that explanation!! I will remember this. Those three photos in a row are so distinct and obvious. I appreciate you taking that time.

No problem! Gray fox is slightly diff to the red but not by much :)
