Is this a coyote?

Checked my trail cam today and I think I have a coyote. FYI I cropped these pictures to enlarge the animal.

I'd say it is. What state do you live in? I wonder if its a western or eastern.

It appears to be either a young coyote or possibly a coyote/dog cross, which is what some call a coydog.

I live and hunt in VA, so it would be an eastern coyote.

Looks to be a yote to me they look different during the spring/summer when their fur isn't prime like it is in the fall/winter when the weather starts cooling off.

The white patch on the chest and the tip of the tail would suggest a coyote dog hybrid or coydog.
The way it carries the tail high in the 2nd picture is another indication.
I would say it has dog blood or it could even be just a wild or feral dog.
To me it doesn't look like a pure bred Coyote.

It appears that there are two identical ones traveling together, mostly at night. I think they are just plain ole coyotes. Seems like if they were dog hybrids they wouldn't look identical, and maybe would stick together.

Doesn't look exactly right to me for a yote either, but as 13points say, they look different in the summer. If they are hybrids, it wouldn't surprise me that they look alike, since they probably would be from the same litter--probably isn't that much cross breeding going on.
