Hard to say. But part of me wants to say its a pig. If you look at the head it looks like it's got a snout

My immediate reaction was pig. This photo was taken on the border of Schenectady and saratoga county kinda odd for a pig to be there. Between the couple dozen people that iv texted the photo to were split right down the middle bear and pig.

It is odd for a pig to be in the woods but an escapee goes wild fast. A Guy near me had one on camera a few years ago

Boy, I'd like to say pig.  It almost looks like a cloven hoof, but I think it's pad, and it doesn't have a swine tail.  I have to say small bear, big ears.   ;D

Did you send the picture to the DEC?
I still say that it's a pig.  Long pointed ear and a bear does not stand with  its front legs together like that .. And I see hooves not pads..
Just my opinion..

I see a bear. Short stubby tail, legs are too big around for a pig, which would taper down to a much narrower hoof. You can only see one leg in the front as it is walking, and the pad of the front foot is wide. I don't think it's a young bear either, not huge but decent sized.

One big problem with IR cameras when the animal is moving the picture gets blurry and they just don't show the detail; with a flash camera in color it would be obvious.

I see two legs in the front that are very close together.

But it isn't standing still, it is walking that is why the pic is blurry. Both right legs are extended backwards, look at the extended rear leg, and you can see the front pad lifting up. The left legs are going forward so you can't see them. Looks just like the way I've seen bears walking through the woods. Bears are all over the state now, wild pigs are only in one area near where they escaped the preserve in Homer.
