What breed of rabbit is this?

Lately, I have had this speckled rabbit on my property. It is a wild rabbit and looks kind of like this:

Only difference is that the one I have in my backyard is brown and white, not black and white, but the color pattern is very similar.

What breed of rabbit is this? Any interesting vignettes or cautionary tales you would like to share about this sort of rabbit?

Thanks.
