He is a "fox" squirrel isn't he? They are bigger and redder than gray squirrels I think?

Fox squirrels have rounded ears similar to the grey squirrels.

The one in the video has ear tufts. None of the pictures of fox squirrels I could find show those tufts. So...he's probably a red squirrel.

I was in Oklahoma once for training while in the military and those red squirrel were fairly common. Someone told me they were "fox" squirrel but I now see he was wrong. Red Squirrel they are indeed

They made the eastern grays look downright scrawny by0 comparison.
