This picture was taken at someone's place I know well in central Arkansas. We have equal votes on mountain lion, bobcat, and coyote. My vote is bobcat. That's a fawn in its mouth.

Lion

Mountain lion. Front leg is too muscular for a coyote and tail is too long for a bobcat. I'll admit that it's kinda tough between coyote and mountain lion though, but the lack of black in the fur and the leg does it for me.

It looks to me like it has a short tail with black at the tip. It may look longer since it is next to it's hind leg. It also has pointed ears with black tips.

Bobcat all day every day.

It's a mountain lion. Long tail and larger than a bobcat. It's got the lion's rounded ears vs more pointy ones on a coyote. A coyote's tail is bushier.

What appears to be it's tail is it's left rear leg. Little stubby bobcat tail, bobcat tufted ears. Red arrow is the tip of it's tail.
