That looks like a black phase squirrel with a touch of white.

Damn that’s a bigger trophy then a deer! Here in MA we have a bunch of all black grey squirrels and I’ve been itching to get one mounted. I’ve even seen them with silver tails and one albino.

I would’ve shot that. Hunted an area in Illinois full of white fox squirrels. My 8son missed one before we found they were protected

I definitely would have shot that and mounted it. That's a really cool looking squirrel.

For many years I had an albino squirrel on my bird feeder frequently. I suppose there must have been more than one cause I don’t think their life span is that long. Lots of the gray ones got .177 disease, but the albinos got a pass.

A large proportion of grey squirrels in the Southern parts of Quebec (like where my daughter lives) are black with an occasional albino. They're all protected.
But a true black and white one like in the picture I have never even heard of... that must be extremely rare.

Great looking squirrel. I would never shoot it just take pictures.

Very cool looking squirrel. I seen my first albino at work a couple months ago.

I'd let it live myself, I feel I'd miss seeing it running around the yard if it was in my freezer. Plenty of regular squirrel to eat. Very unique critter!

No reason to kill it.

Well that's different. Yes I'd let it live too. Good choice.
Here's another squirrel with some odd color markings. Looks like a fox squirrel with black and white stripes down its back. It was coming into the bird feeders a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen it since.
