Default burning smell from rear of car

Today while driving, I started to smell a burning type smell inside the car. I got out and looked around. The smell is strongest around the rear passenger side tire. Do any of you all have a clue what this could be, im thinking brakes, but its doesnt smell like brakes or rubber, i dont really know what it smells like.

that's a tough question to answer w/o knowing whether or not it's the posi for sure.
