Which silhouette is most likely to be a coyote?

This is a domestic dog. While it looks a lot like a coyote in proportion, ears, and snout, the tail is skinny and held high, curved above the animal’s back. A coyote won’t run through the neighborhood with their tail held high, so even if the animal otherwise resembles a coyote, it’s likely a gray copycat (or, copyDOG).
