I enjoy DL and it frequently leads me down interesting paths… so with all due respect since I am not in Arizona, I got interested in the Kaibab squirrel from your message… So I looked it up, it seems like yours maybe is an Aberts? the difference is in the belly color. and Kaibabs are subspecies of Aberts….
Anyway See the pictures on various websites…based on your picture, with the dramatically white belly should your friend “kaibab” really be called “abert”..

keep it.
if you could see the dead-give-away of the indigenous chestnut-colored dorsal plane,
plus the obvious Chi Radiance inherent to Kaibab, than your curiosity would be satiated.

ps; my former boss; Dr. Bob Farentinos of Farentinos Gym fame did his Ph.D on Aberts…ilg knows about Aberts vs. Kaibab…i don’t know much else though!
