Looks pretty healthy, why do you think it’s sick?

People think they don't come out during the daytime because it's rare to see them. I'd assume this be the case.

Nah, they've got a nice fluffy coat and good body condition. It's normal to see them out during the day from time to time, they change their schedule based on when prey is active and predators aren't.

Not sick just smart.
Coyotes aren't as paranoid about being around people as wolves are. If he's grown up around humans and the humans have been generally chill then he's learned to exploit an additional habitat his friends haven't. As people hunt less and turn more woods into suburbs there's more selective pressure towards animals with a "hey whatsup" attitude toward people.

He looks healthy and alert enough as far as one can tell from a single photo. Why would you think he were sick?

Nope. Healthy! They are like dogs. Day or night. It's a myth that they only come out at night. But... usually they come out in populated areas at night because it's safer. But either he's being fed by people. Or being fed by people with little animals not in the house or out unsupervised.
Call local fish and game.

Nope. Can’t expect wild animals (especially predators) to look show-room ready all the time.
