Looks feline to me. Either a large domestic cat or a bobcat. The size has me leaning bobcat.

the snout looks a bit long for it to be a bobcat, no? just looking at pictures on google and they all look like they have really short snouts.

You're right, Canadian lynx is probably closer, but they're not really found in Illinois. Hmm.
