I now realise that some of the comments above were describing Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis) as "Lynx" even though Bobcat (Lynx Rufus) is also a Lynx and so is Lynx Lynx (Eurasian Lynx).

All the pictures of the Canadian Lynx that I had previously seen were ones with their shaggy winter coat that makes them look like they're wearing pyjamas (http://goo.gl/zlJUS5) But anyway, I agree with you that it ticks off all the bobcat signifiers. It's also a long way from Canada or Alaska.

Pretty sure it's a bobcat though they are easy to confuse.

I reference this http://travel4wildlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/lyx-vs-bobcat2.jpg

Specifically I'm thinking: short tufts, visible spots, and rear legs & hips similar length to front and most significantly longer tail. (Lynx barely has enough tail to swish unlike this chap)

To my eye you can tick off all the main bobcat signifiers here anyway.

Edit: Lynx Rufus is a Bobcat! (should have read further before commenting DOH!)

Yep, a bona fide Lynx rufus. I'll add that to the tags as well as his common name.
