Ken,
I was sure it was a fox but wasn't sure what kind. I found this description of the Red Fox:
Red Fox

Color variations include a black phase (almost completely black), a silver phase (black with silver-tipped hairs), a cross phase (reddish brown with a dark cross across shoulders), and intermediate phases; all have white-tipped tail. Ht 15–16" (38–41 cm); L 35–41" (90–103 cm); T 13 3/4–17" (35–43 cm); HF 5 3/4–7" (14.6–17.8 cm); E 3–3H0 (7.7–8.9 cm); Wt 7 7/8–15 lb (3.6–6.8 kg).
