Looks like a cat track, they can retract their claws, where canines cannot retract their claws. How wide is it?
I've seen a bobcat on my road, and I'm right next to Morningview in Crittenden/Piner so it could be a bobcat.

How big is the track? Here is what a mountain lion track looks like. A lions track will be as big as you hand. Notice the fur print around the pad. This picture was taken in South Dakota.

As you can see it appears that track of yours is a much smaller animal. Bobcat?

Also, whenever asking for track ID, try to pt something for reference into the photo.
A ruler is best, but common objects like coins, pen/pencil, your hand, etc can later be checked for scale.

That is a very good example of a mountain lion track. Is that a pic you took or something from the internet?
The OP's pic could be a bobcat or house cat....but it also could be a porch mutt or coyote IMO.

i have an old track book that I have had since I was a kid and bobcat was the closest looking track.The impression was maybe 2 in across.There was a bobcat seen on the road a couple times last summer.This is on Spillman rd for you local guys.

You're a bit north of me, I'm on Carlisle Road, but I'd definitely say bobcat if it's bigger than a normal cat print.
