I think a touch of colour correction would help to show his grey coat rather than the magenta tone here. Nice alert pose and lunch!

What an interesting animal, and a nice view of it. Agree about the magenta cast, and I'm not sure if it's slightly over-sharpened or just the texture of the fur itself but it looks a bit "crunchy". Nice job on the lighting, I like the dark background.

The Raw image is brownish. Initially I tried adjusting the magenta but reducing it to nothing still left the coat brownish. Checked other images on Google and found some were brown, some grey so it may just be a color phase. The coat is definitely "crunchy" but appears that way normally...not a critter you'd feel like cuddling with.
