Tamiasciurus douglasii
Douglas Squirrels have two colorings, one for winter and one for summer. In summer they appear gray or even greenish with a pale orange/yellow underbelly. In the winter, the gray gets browner and the underbelly grayer. Ear tufts also appear in the winter.
Coniferous forests ranging from the Sierra Nevadas in California to south of Alaska.

Bralei, I lightened your squirrel a little.
I like your description. You should make picture number 2 as picture number one.
Is this the squirrel which has a tri colored tail?
