Morning Nathan, and welcome to WAB! 
When I first saw it I thought the head was the tail, but it's actually running from left to right. I thought of a Wild Boar at first because of that, on to Fox as it's more common/likely, then considered Muntjac as suggested.
Now though, the coarse fur and short legs have me re-considering Boar - but perhaps Fox on the basis of the apparent tail-size...
Take care, Jason |

Thanks for your post! Yes, I can certainly see how you came to all of those ideas. I think fox is more probable in this area and on the basis of the tail size, I would definitely go with fox.
Thanks!
More camera trap photos coming to the blog soon! (Hopefully they will be a bit clearer next time!  ) |

I thought you may be interested in this photograph I have just retrieved from my camera traps - identification can be more certain with this one ( Nathan ROBERTS :: Blog)! My first polecat record! |

I'm not convinced that's a polecat. |
