Should be a bobcat, aka Lynx rufus (how do I set italics in this app?)
FWIW, bobcats ARE one of the four lynx species, and can legitimately be called a type of lynx, just for some reason we didn't dub them "southern small-ish lynx of North America".. probably because "bobcat" rolls off the tongue better.
His formal name also should be Lynx robert, but that's just me wishing for it I guess.
