It's not a coyote. I really think it's a mixed breed dog of some type. I'm having a hard time judging the size, for lack of perspective. But I get the feeling it's larger than a coyote and not quite as big as a wolf. It's also a female and I would expect it to have some younger pups with her by now.
I guess they might have been around but not in the picture.

I say mixed breed dog.
