Lynx have fairly long back legs that cause their back hips to be higher than their front shoulders, so on level ground it looks like they are sloped down toward their head. Bobcats back legs are about the same as the front so their backs are petty level. It's hard to tell from this photo, but even if the cat is on a slight down hill slope (look at the position of each foot), I still think it looks like its sloping down from back to front shoulder - so I'd say probably lynx.
Any better photo possible? And where was this? Perhaps he was after your birdie?

Those tall back legs look like a lynx for sure. The tail would tell you for sure if you have better photos. The lynx would have a black tip all the way around. The bobcat would have a black tip, but only on TOP of the tail.
Rocks, trees, and water...
