I would say so and one that is having a bad hair-day. I'm basing this primarily by the look of his tail. Have to admit that the ones I usually see are closer to the ground and not quite as frizzy-haired. .....

It does look very similar to a groundhog. And that is the only native animal in North Alabama that it could be. However the ones I am used to seeing are about twice as big (of course, as I stated, it could be a young one), have more brownish hair, and it doesn't stick out like that. As for being closer to the ground, they are built for digging tunnels. The tunnel doesn't have to be as tall that way.
I looked up pictures of a muskrat. It doesn't appear to be one.

That reminds me. I got a picture of a coyote at one of my salt licks. And yes that was about a 15 inch snow storm that hit North Alabama. We get one about every 20 years.
