You're right, it is indeed a black fox! It's usually called "silver" because of those longer silvery hairs you see on its face and back. However it's not a breed (breeds are a group of domestic animals that fit the same breed standard ), they're both Red Foxes ( Vulpes vulpes), just one happens to be red and one is black. Despite the name, red foxes also come in various different colours, just not quite as many as most domestic animals. You see in the captive bred foxes they have more funky patterns and white spotting. It's an odd side effect of domestication.
The scientific term what for you see on the left is called melanism, which is when an animal produces more of the black-brown pigment melanin than normal, and that makes them look very dark or black. The most famous example would be black panthers, which are melanistic jaguars or leopards.
Sorry, that was a lot of scribbling you probably didn't want to read.
Hope this helped!
