Do You Know What Kind of Bear This Is?

We’ve been having a debate about what type of bear is sniffing the poppy below. The AP cutline said it was a black bear. But it doesn’t look like any kind of black bear that I’ve seen. So. Thom George provided a shot of the bear from another angle. Thom contends that it’s a Goedde Bear. There is some resemblance to the Coeur d’Alene state senator of the same name. Anyone else out there care to guess?
