the hind feet of a nutria are large and black with webbing the pic doesnt look like it has those.also have a long tail to like a muskrat. we had both of them in ponds near where i lived in oklahoma.here is one of the pics off the hairless groundhog facebook site in case you couldnt get to it.

nutria are a little larger and have different hind feet/legs and are normally hairy 
they are somewhat common around here too
