This little guy is Brachylagus idahoensis (Merriam, 1891), the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit, the smallest rabbit species in North America, and found in Douglas County in north-central Washington.
Sadly, the species is doomed. The last male purebred rabbit died March 30th, leaving just two females in a captive breeding program; none are believed to exist in the wild..
Another picture is here.
