It looks more like a bobcat to me as well but I can certainly see why you are wondering.The head looks like it could be a mountain lion.It's too bad you don't have scale in the picture,so you could judge the size better.Also the tail would tell you everything you would need to know.
I saw a mountain lion 3 years ago in NY while bow hunting for deer.It was at dusk but it was close enough that I could clearly identify it.

Hmmm not to discredit what Dale said but I enlarged it and by the looks of the white underbelly and white markings on the face, its def a mountain lion. I did see the black around the ears but then again, everything around the ear is black 0.o

The markings on the ears and side of the face do look like a mt. lion. But it is hard to tell for sure. The DNR tried to say there wren't any mt. lions in Indiana also. Until a few obvious trail cam pics and videos turned up. They then came clean & admitted to an experimenal release of a few cats in central IN to help control deer populations there. I believe it was around Kokomo, IN.
Turned out to be bad public relations not telling people there were big cats stalking the woods.
