I'm a midwesterner and I've seen my a share of cats while outdoors... but I actually don't know what those photo is, but I'm fairly certain it's not "an endangered Bobcat". Something is off about the color and dot print, I've never seen it that prominent. Nearly every bobcat I've seen or had appear on a trailcam has much more subdued features and they're not as "orangey". They're unbelievably hard to spot with your eyes. FYI also in the midwest, anything that is wild and meows is generally referred to as "a bobcat", save the mountain lion.
