Cougar or bobcat?

[EsotericPA]

A friend captured this in northern Wisconsin and was wondering what this is. Initially I thought a bobcat but now I doubt myself.

Looks like a B-cat.

  thank you. I thought so too but I'm a novice.

Yep Bobcat, if it was a cougar, it's tail would be almost as long as the body and visible.

lack of spots might make the cat a lynx. Definitely not a cougar.

Bob.  The white on the back of the ears is a tell.  The legs are way too thin and small for a lynx and the back is too level for the high rear end of a lynx.  A lot of bobcats don't show spots on their back and sides, may only show on belly and inside of legs.  Ditto that a cougar tail would look huge in this pose.
