A yellow fox (as opposed to an argente golden) would not have a grey undercoat,
so take a look. Also if you are familiar with DEHs, you know how there is
almost an extension of the white belly markings up by the ears? (if you compare
it to an agouti you might see what I mean) Well a yellow fox has that same
markings, marked like a DEH except a lighter shade of gold, and of course ruby
eyes.
