Much smaller than grey squirrels, red squirrels (
Tamiasciurus Hudsonicus, not to be confused with the Eurasian red squirrel
Sciurus Vulgaris) may be mistaken for
chipmunks but lack any stripes and have a larger tail. They are usually shy - this one thought it was hiding.
The pink eye color is an artifact of flash photography.
