Identify the animal on the cam.

My backyard habitat cam caught another animal last night. I thought it was a cat, but it doesn't seem to have a tail. Raccoons, possums, rabbits and armadillos are common around here. A bobcat would be very rare.

What do you see in this photo?

because of the way the body seems so slender in the front. And because of the way its spine slopes downward.

I also get the impression the head will be small.
