From what I can tell in this photo it appears to have large ears and a white rump, 2 characters for the mule deer. The subspecies for Colorado is as suggested.

I am not very familiar with your deers, but I would check the white-tailed deer and mule deer first, however, there might be other ones in your area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_deer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule_deer
