Talk:Northeastern coyote

Delete in favor of Eastern Coyote entry?
The "Northeastern coyote" is a name that is primarily associated with the otherwise-known Eastern coyote "coywolf" hybrid species of coyotes and wolves. As can be seen from the photograph provided in the article, the phenotypic markers of the Red Wolf are present in this purported coyote species, much like the Eastern coyote. I think the species described in this article is more so a result of name confusion than it is an actual, categorized species. Finally, the sources do not seem to correlate with the existence of a "Northeastern coyote" species. The FOX News article makes no mention or citation of any evidence that the coyotes it mentions are this specific species of coyote. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources citation is broken. The Biological Society of Washington description of the specified coyote species is extremely similar to the phenotype of the Eastern coyote.
