Found lethargic and barely moving on a road in North Carolina....(at a high elevation).....one year ago.



It does have small orange dots on the side of it's head.



I'm wondering what kind of boxie this is and if this coloration is termed melanistic..or is there a term for it...besides Light Reddish Brown?... lol....





Is it a rare color as I haven't been able to locate any others in books and the net?



Thanks,

Petriglas
