could definitely be a blackie not quite big enough for a grizz but could still be a subadult...
I have heard different schools of thought on it
bears that eat a dig alot for grubs and roots will not have that pronounced a set of claws like this photo
and black bears that eat more meat or kill more deer or rather are better stalkers of prey will have the more pronounced
claw patterns than their more digging inclined brethren.
It really comes down to what mom was good at and what the cubs learned from the get go. But however when cubs are displaced from their mothers home range and game is not as plentiful or there is a lack of game to hunt for a season they will fall back on natural foraging instincts but they never forget what they have learned once it rebounds and the game is plentiful.
Grizz don't put alot of effort into pulling back on their hind feet claws though so this could be a bit of stinker to figure out.
cuz blackies like to walk on the balls of their feet with claws pulled up or retracted to say they like to *censored* foot around real soft and quiet. where girzz like to lumbar around plopping their feet where ever they want with a swagger.
where there anymore of these in a series and was their any indication the prints where overlapping because blackies are notorious for putting their hinds down right on the same spot their fronts were. they make real crazy tracks through grass looks like a guy walking like there are only one set of prints or foot steps to follow besides the swath they cut with their belly's...

Pretty sure I've heard an adult selkirk grizz will go about 600lbs. Not sure how big ones track would be.
