Neotamias minimus
These are the smallest chipmunks in North America.They have three dark lines on their back alternating with white stripes. Tails are a reddish brown and sides a brownish gray. Underparts are whitish.
I photographed this chipmunk in an open ponderosa forest, but they live in many habitats including sagebrush plains, deciduous forests, and mountain areas.

Adorable! I think chipmunks are obnoxious if they're right by (or in) your house, but extremely cute if they're anywhere else.
