if the woods where it went in have a stream or a river I'll say it's an otter.
if not then it's a coon with a colour variation.
I have bought and sold coon pups as pets, handraised and every now and then the litter contained dark pups with practically no stripes or facial masks....I even had a light grey, almost white one as well.
For a beaver it moved to fast in my opinion.

It looks kinda likes a nutra rat or a cat of some kind. However, I have never seen a cat with such abig body and what appears to be short legs. Dont know but intresting to see.

That looks to be to big for a coon, and discolored for a coon. Also, it is WAY to big to be an otter, and unrealistically big for a beaver. I have killed many otters and beavers (with cooperation from the Alabama Wildlife & Conservation Department), and have never ever taken anything near that size. The biggest otter I've ever killed or seen was about 8 inches tall and 30 inches long. You would barely see that on that camera. The beavers can be a little taller, but that animal is really long in the video.

I'd be willing to bet it's a Fisher ora Pine Martin!!! They both have the long tail with the humped back!
I'm leaning towards Fisher just because of the size!! I don't know if they are that far south, but there are lots of them in northrn Minnesota woods!!
