Notice the second set of eyes off to the left. Looks like a bobcat kitten to me but cannot see tail length well enough.

Franklin all cats down there are well spotted due to short fur
Northern. Cats are spotted the same just to much long fur to see it

Hard to say from the pic but looks more like a young coyote to me.

If you zoom in on the picture using a tablet, you can see that OP's pictured animal has spots. I've never seen a coyote or fox with spots. Also, there's no appreciable tail. A fox cannot hide it's large tail. Coyotes have a significant tail as well. Lastly, the torso on this animal is very short - like a cat. Foxes have very long torsos and yotes have a longer torso than a bobcat.
I think it's a bobcat.

I agree. The spots are what caused me to think it is a bobcat, and the short torso also seemed to say as much. Thanks.

Yea, can’t see any of that detail on my mobile. I’d say spots are definitely a sign of a cat
