Not a good photo to be used for whale identification as IDs are based on the underside of the tail, which is called flukes with each side or lobe called a fluke. However this is a good photo if you are in the boat and a whale is coming toward you and dives close to the boat and you know that is is passing under your boat.
In bear identification 101 the black bear’s rump is higher than front shoulders and a grizzly bear’s rump is lower than shoulder hump. On a grizzly this hump is made of fat and muscle and helps the grizzlies to dig up roots and tear apart logs to find food. The angle of this photo and the pose of the bear make the hump very obvious.
