A quick search for "striped ground squirrel" turned up only one variety, the thirteen-lined ground squirrel. The animal in the photo has stripes like a chipmunk.

Look for stripes on the face: without them, it's probably a squirrel. Both ground squirrels and chipmunks have body stripes, so the face is a better indicator.

You're right, there's no stripes on its face. I stand corrected.

Sadly, that was my most upvoted comment in ~9.5 years on this site.
