Reddish Brown Fox with raccoon like paws?

This is an image taken from Crestline, California (San Bernadino mountains). It has paws like a raccoon (I think) but facial features like a fox (to me at least). Thanks for your help!!

that is 100% raccoon, and I have no clue what made its colors change. Fleas, soil?

My first impression is raccoon, but I'd like to see more of the animal to be sure. The shape of the face and ears are raccoon-like, but I am puzzled about the smallness of the mask around the eyes. I think that the color balance of the original shot was off and this image has been adjusted and may have lost some defining detail.

See http://www.cherokeezoo.com/natives.htm

And look at the rare "red raccoon" at the bottom of the page.

It's a raccoon. Typically they're gray and black like we all have come to recognize but they can also be red and sometimes blonde, albeit rare.
