ID help for Holzner vs. Desert Cottontail in SE Arizona

Hey folks,

Still sorting photos from an incredible monsoon trip to the sky islands of SE Arizona over the summer. We had great luck with herps and birds, and pretty decent luck with mammals, though no cats this go around. I’m looking for a little info on the cottontail in the attached photo. It was near Soldier Falls Trailhead, just east of Rincon Peak. Something about it just doesn’t look like a regular Desert Cottontail, but I could be imagining it.

Cheers
