    Trying to match this female in quietwood. Look for horseshoe shape on right hindlimb.Does not match Tau or other proposed.

    This looks very promising to me! (I also kind of suspected this ...). The horseshoe pattern and several other spots look pretty much alike to me. Thanks @squish5!

    As I am quite confident that this is indeed a female (generally smaller body size, but fully grown, no testicles visible), she will be LeoFemQW01 ( ACP00005oj ) and LeoFemQW01b ( ACP00004xq and ACP00004xu).

    Let's get some more opinions about this proposal!

    Good one @squish5! I can see the horseshoe as well and I'm quietly wondering whether there are some kicking horses at Agedviolet?? 8)

    I think I can also see the same pattern on the backside of her left foreleg. I have no time to make pics now but just wanted to post it.

    Those two are a match to each other I believe.

    LOL My bet is a duiker with a funky shoe, a very brave duiker with a funky shoe 😃

    OK, we have an agreement here and can name this lovely female. @squish5, you suggested the match and therefore you can name. What should we call her?

    (As we are ready to name, I will add her to our list in the known section and will not give a temp ID.)

    Awesome 😃 I'll go with one more Irish name, Saoirse (seer-sha) Thanks!!

    That is such a great name! Do you know that we already have a chimp named Saor? I think that was an Irish naming as well. How nice!

    I spotted that while checking the names and thought the same. Don't know if its Irish (was never my strong subject) 😃

    Great name @squish5!

    I had to google the meaning of the name and that's what babynamesofireland.com says:

    Irish word saoirse “freedom, liberty.” It has only been used since the 1920s and has strong patriotic overtones.
    That's a real good fit for our leopard lady me thinks 😉
