Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel

I first thought this was a chipmunk by its size, but I knew the back pattern (brown stripes with tan dots) was different, and the behavior was different. Looked it up when I got home: Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel. New mammal for me. Taken from the car.

You caught your squirrel at a good angle. Great to see light on its eye and other features for identification.
