Coyote or Bobcat?

1st 4:  Coyote I photographed alongside Tellbrook Road
As we were approaching the turnoff to the trailhead along Tellbrook Road I saw an animal just crossing over into the desert.  My first thought was "Coyote."  But when I drove past and looked over I reassessed my initial impression; now it looked like a Bobcat.

When we stepped out of the CR-V at the trailhead I was able to spot the critter, which was standing at the side of the road, and photograph it.  A Coyote after all.

While we descended LDR-A we heard a pack of Coyotes howling to the north; never saw any of them, though.  That was it, the excitement surrounding our morning trek, which, by the way, was the usual one we've been taking daily.
