Red flanked duiker?

• by jwidness moderator

  I must admit, I'm not really confident on my red duikers, but this guy looked different. A red flanked duiker? Also seen in ACP00058sy and ACP00058t0.

  I'm not an expert at all but I would say bay duiker. I think red flanked are lighter... but it's just a vague idea that I got from pictures on the web 😃
  (hope it's ok if I have a guess though)

  That's a #bay_duiker! We almost never see them during the day, I think this is only the second one. They have an exceptionally dark brown coat, with black legs, and the black dorsal stripe, and those cute white spots over the eyes that we can't see in the night shots.

  Thanks @Quia! He/she doesn't look quite like I was expecting based on the night footage 😃
