Which predator has amber eyes?

Coming back from my wander round the fields.

I have a weak (white(ish)) lamp attached and played it around as I was making for the exit and notices a pair of amber eyes looking at me.

I noticed that if I saw one, I mostly saw both, so figured it was a preditor, not prey species. It was larger than a rabbit, but smaller than a decent dog. When it ran it was a smooth gait, not hops.

The thing that was most remakable were the colour of the reflections - they were a pronounced amber in colour.

Rabbits reflect back mostly white or slightly yellow and sheep come back pure white in this lamp light.

The local cat was being shy, so I couldn't do a spot check (geddit???) on him and we see quite a few foxes round here too.

 

Any ideas what I was (not) seeing?

Odds are a Badger or Fox!
