Don't see pinky toe and that makes me think black as well.  Granted I'm no pro but size is important too and cant tell size with no scale?  Set of grizz I saw it was obvious based on claw lengths and size was quite large.(Plus bear was seen later)  It very well could be grizzly though.  I would be cautious regardless!

Black bear for sure.  Foot morphology always trumps size. Note the hind foot track in both photos has a wedge of hair on the inside edge.

Black bears tend place their back foot in the print of their front foot making it look bigger then it really is.

why is everyone worrying about size?  are grizzly's born with 12 inch feet?  how big are a 200lb grizzly track? they are mountain grizzly not Kodiak island brown bears that get to be huge!  how big is a 10 year old Selkirk mountain grizzly? i bet most are not as big as you may think!
