A little over an inch across. Fox?

Dog, possibly coyote. More likely fox.

It looks melted. Were the prints smaller?

Fox tracks would be in a straight line

Best guess, according to this chart: a small “gog”?

Definitely canid. Were the tracks in a straight line ( direct register) or more off center? Was the human footprint yours or was it there? That could indicate a small dog.

Small dog or fox

Catamount

Bigfoot

Cat.

Ah yes. The elusive Gog

Our footprint. The tracks were in a straight line. Digit replacing.

I’d be a little surprised if it was a dog. Found these on our property and we don’t have a dog. It’s possible the neighbors dog came through but the pattern didn’t indicate a dog running through

That’s Bill.

Red Fox have “dainty” footprints in a straight line. The front footprint is wide compared to the more pointed hind paw. If snow is shallow or firm the prints will only show portions of toes and heel pads. Your photo looks as if these are not fresh prints. Did you notice a musky, skunky odor in the vicinity? Red Fox urine has an odor similar to skunk. I’d guess it’s a red or possibly gray fox. But tracking is tricky, and identifying tracks from a photo is even more so.BTW I get my information from a tracking class I took at North Branch Nature Center as well as from Peterson’s Animal Tracks Field Guide. Both great resources you should check out!

That looks like a dog to me

You should check out A field guide to tracking mammals in the Northeast. It’s very thorough and a fun book to have around

Small coyote or dog, fox or stray cat. Hard to tell with it that melted.

Looks like fox. Recently ID'd similar prints in my own yard with a trail cam.

Cat

Those are coyote tracks

Same with a coyote! I believe they are perfect steppers as well.
