This is a North American squirrel. I have actually seen one of these. They aren’t that common.
Hint: Look at the head. Ignore the color.
Canis lupus hominis

I ran over one of those on my bike in College. The melanistic ones are crazy.
Melanistic red squirrel? I’ve never seen anything quite like it! How cool.
We have a large population of black gray squirrels in the Washington DC area. Could this be a variant? I’ve certainly never seen anything like it, but then many have never seen the black ones.
I never saw a melanistic grey squirrel with a red tail, so I’m gonna say a black-phase Fox squirrel. I used to see Fox squirrels regularly as a kid–I haven’t seen one now in decades……
In Holland MI, the completely black squirrels are all over the place! On the down-town campus of Hope College and also out by Lake Michigan, 3 out of every 4 squirrels are entirely black. Usually, they are very tame – you can usually get within 4-6 feet of one before it will scurry off someplace. I will try to post some pics if anyone is interested.
