Apparently there's a great deal variation in their coloring:

These guys get to be the size of a house cat.

Yeah, I really don't think this is a fox squirrel. We have those. This is much larger and doesn't look like them other than the basic squirrel features. Coloring and size are completely different. Everyone here that sees them says the same thing. Nobody can figure out what they are though,

Ohhh, he's well fed, I am sure. These guys get huge though. This is a small one compared to the others I see.

Thanks. We can't figure out what this is. It's a type of squirrel, but it's got a black face and is more gray in color. They get very very large around here too

Nice one, it looks pretty fat, must have good food sources :)
