From that angle i think the hump would be more pronounced.  Black.

I agree. The ears to me are the dead give away.

It's a black bear.

And all bears have a hump if their shoulder blades protrude at the right angle. Definitely not a defining factor.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

As a WDFW "certified" bear identification hunter I concur with this statement. No grizz.

I didn't think you could even reply to this post without being a certified bear identifier. I concur with the black bear identity...

Ears do seem little tall like a Blackie.  But it reminds me of grizz in shape as well.  I googled images and I will say that the ears on large Grizz seems short n rounded but on young lean adults they do look little more like a black bear.?  Probably a Blackie though I wouldn't bet 100% on that.
