It's still not a contrail though.
Notice how the sun illuminates the TOP of the trail, and not the bottom. Since the sun is setting/already set in this picture, it means the trail is pointing DOWN, not horizontal as an aircraft contrail would. Do a search for "contrail sunset". Lots of photos, but none like this.

You are assuming that the trail is flat and level. Planes do climb and decend.

TOO steep to be a contrail. Sorry but Ozram's Razor does not apply here.

Too steep and too short.
