Looks like a funnel cloud, but of course it's impossible to be sure without more pictures or video.

Than it would most likely was a funnel cloud. Was there a tornado warning for it? I've seen one in my life... our local newspaper had confirmed that I did see one.

You can tell it's a funnel because from the left of the image it feeds into the actual funnel and on the right it just goes straight up. That's a misdirection in winds. Also you can see the clouds around the funnel wrapping counter-clockwise. Here's the diagram:
