Wildlife: A White-tailed Squirrel?, 1 by GoldenDomer

I was too dumbfounded to think about taking a pic and he was only in my yard for a minute or two but I saw a squirrel with a body size and color exactly like my pet in the top image but with a white tail as white or whiter than the image below it.

I got the bottom image from Google where the only other squirrels with white tails looked much different (more scrawny) and were residents of areas over a thousand miles away e;g. Grand Canyon, etc.

I assume he'll come back and if so I'll post an actual pic but I'm so curious I thought I'd post this to see if I can get any answers in advance.

Thanks.
