This is a tough one. The females of several ringtails can look very similar unless you have good clear photos of several diagnostic features. This is made that much more difficult by the fact that it is still young and the colouration has not fully firmed up. But I agree with Roy, that, on balance, this is probably a Wandering Ringtail.
