There is no obstruction here. Why? The fielder was in the act of fielding a batted ball.

Tom,
I have to disagree with your last statement. I think that if the ball gets far enough away from the fielder, they are no longer fielding a batted ball, instead they are chasing after a ball, and can be guilty of obstruction if they get tangled up with a runner.

That is part of the problem. We do not know where the ball was when this occured. If this was just a reach or so and the defender could have easily gained possession of the ball, I would think of this as INT. If the ball literally bounced away from the fielder, it could be obstruction.
This is a play I believe most of us would know what it is when we see it.
