Question Brown/grizzly or black?

We have both in the area, hard to tell.

The dish-shape face and the hump says brown, it's more obvious in the video where it was walking towards a car.

Initially thought black .... but on other videos more features of a brown/grizzly

Definitely a grizzly. If I'd only see the first video I would have said black bear, but that why multiple views matter.

This is a grizzly bear.

Exactly! The first video was coming up the driveway. From a quick glance with the night vision, it looked like a large black. We get black bears here very frequently but something about the way this one looks and moves prompted me to examine more footage.
