Those photos really aren't any better. Can't you get your camera to focus on the part, rather than on the background?
Considering that the part has 4 leads, I expect it's a transformer (unless only two of them are connected). Usually the core (the gray piece in the middle) is looped all the way around to direct the magnetic flux better. Can you see two windings with different sized wire (through the top translucent white part)? That would suggest a transformer rather than an inductor. However, it could definitely still be an inductor, depending on how it's connected. That would make more sense with the straight core.
