Seems to be the same species as your other two sightings:
Unidentified on 13 Sep 2019
Unidentified on 13 Sep 2019
Again, the same reasoning for the species ID as the comment in the first link. This one might be younger? It looks smaller with only a smaller amount of orange hair above its eyes and a lack of black hair on the front legs. Otherwise exactly the same as the individuals in the two sightings of the links above.
