I think it's a coyote. My wife is convinced that it's a grey fox because of it's tail and ears. She thinks the ears are rounded. I don't see it.

The legs seem too long to be a fox so have to go with coyote (but want it to be a fox because I hardly ever see them...).

I've seen a few grey foxes over the years, but not as often as I've seen coyotes.

One time I was on the dam for my pond and two of them walked across the dam, towards me. I laid down on the grass so I wouldn't be so noticeable, and they walked right past me, about 20 feet away!!!

Couple of years ago I was out squirrel hunting and two fairly good size critters ran past me so fst they were a blur, and then they ran about 20 feet straight up a huge old Oak tree. My first thought was it was two mountain lion cubs but it was two grey fox. Super cool!
