Not sure what this is for sure, loo large for most ground squirrels, doesn't look like a woodchuck either. Right by the corner of the new cow fence at the entrance to the Wildlife Drive

A bit out of range, so I'd love some second opinions on ID. Completely blond colored from what I could see. I have seen other observations of this guy floating around (some with better photos)

Florida, Taylor, St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, Aucilla River boat ramp at the end of Mandalay Road (Google, OSM)Description
A solo visit as I was heading home from seeing the epic Gray Gull at Santa Rosa Beach this morning! This was my second visit to this road; Don Fraser and I got our lifer Yehl's Skippers here 29 days earlier (and we looked for but missed Broad-winged Skipper). There were no "good" skippers here today (too late in the season, I guess), but I got several lesser skippers and other nice insects. The weather at 1259 was sunny and 77 degrees ("feels like" 83), with a light breeze. This is the third of three stops along Mandalay Road. There were many skippers -- apparently all Ocola Skippers -- on a big patch of Bidens here; I tried to combine the same individuals into one record as best as possible. I left at 1422 and headed home.
