The "black phase" is melanism or melanistic. Is possible in nearly all mammals, very common in squirrels. Here is a yellow song dog I killed a couple years back.

I saw a black one just like that the other day. I was set up calling and after about a half hour picked up and headed back to the truck. went up the road to another spot and called for a while. Then on the trip back through I looked out in the field next to where I was calling and there stood a black coyote. I thought it was a dog but it wasn't. I never did get off a shot at him. This was right below my house so I have been trying to get him to come in again for about a week with no avail.

This photo doesn't show it but her teeth were oversized compared to her body - when I first walked up to her that made more of an impression than her color.
