This picture was taken in the back of Little Caney on Lake Fork. What kind of deer is it?

Thought so. Didn't think there were any around Lake Fork,

Coloration fits a fallow fawn or late born whitetail more to me.
Those mentioned; axis, some fallow, and whitetail fawns are really tough to tell the difference in.
I have had them all at a feeder and had a tough time telling the difference. We have some lighter fallows that look just like that

Looks like a Fallow to me.

I was thinking fallow at first but everyone I’ve seen had palmated antlers

Running gear too tall and ears wrong for axis. Looks like wtd to me.

Piebald whitetail. They show up from time to time.

It’s a spotted fallow, they always have a pretty much solid white line a couple inches above the color line at the belly.

I agree with rickym, spotted fallow young buck.

'Not much experience with 'em, but I'm voting fallow.

Count me in the young fallow group.

Whitetails can show the solid white line also. The fawn in OP appears to have a shorter tail like a fallow though than a whitetail fawn.

You can take it to the bank when STXRANCHMAN post it.

based on the way the spots are spaced I would say fallow, Axis normally have more equal spacing between the spots, fallow som will be close together and some further, being that it is a fawn makes it harder to tell.

I'd have to go with whitetail. Fawns around here look just like that.

That’s a whitetail fawn if I’ve ever seen one. Some of y’all have quite the imagination. Look at the critter’s body structure. It’s a baby.

I am also going to say WT. I see the line theory but the OP is fairly grainy.

Looks like a WT fawn to me more than anything else
