I took this photo a couple of weeks ago in sunny Montebello in Canada. Could be a ground squirrel, or a chipmunk or a mouse dressed up for Halloween!
Does anyone know for sure what it is?

how amazing is the search engine of your choice?
Is it a Least Chipmunk?
Reckon it might be, but since it's not a bird I'm not sure.
Easy!
Go to Google Images.(note you need to be in Google Images, not straight up Google, next bit explains why)
Click on the camera icon in the search bar. If you can't see a camera icon, you're not in google images.
It'll ask you to either link to an image, or upload an image.
Then it'll display results that may look similar to THIS page
(hopefully )
Two similar looking squirelly animals shown in the squirrel wiki page. Chipmunk(as Mark says) or Indian palm squirrel(as you're in Canada .. unlikely)
Well, I tried the Google option, and that proved inconclusive, so I have emailed the picture to the hotel we stayed at and asked them what it is - that should do it!
I was a bit confused by the "least" bit. Sounded like at the very least it was a chipmunk, but if it was a clever one it could be promoted to a squirrel!!
Then I looked up "Least Chipmunk" .........
If it had got a brown cape over the stripes I guess it would have been a chipmonk.
Well .... the wonders of email have revealed all. Here is the reply I just received :-
"We hope you enjoyed your stay with us. This very cute yet very agile creature you saw is a chipmunk. You could compare it to any type of squirrel though it’s a little smaller.
There are multiple types of chipmunks, the ones we have in Quebec is the Eastern Chipmunk. "
