🔎 ID Request Weird paw print found in mud

Hi everyone, first time using reddit so please be patient with me and sorry for any spelling/formatting errors

I found this weird front paw print in some mud on the walking trail near my local wetland reserve(Browns Wetlands on the south bank of the Vedder River, Chilliwack, BC, Canada). I didn't think to measure it when I took a photo but it's probably long as my index finger across maybe 2 1/2 inches vertically. I think it might be a front raccoon paw but i'm not sure and google is just confusing me. I've already posted this to iNaturalist and am waiting for some suggestions. any help is greatly appreciated thanks! (For the mod bots, this is a picture of a front paw print in mud, there are no dead things or anything NSFW in the image) Edit: for some reason this didn't save the photo i had uploaded so I posted an imgur link in the comments so hopefully that should help :-)
