    No, zebra! The tail is too hairy for an eland, which has a long smooth tail with dark tassel at end, and the leg has wrap-around stripes - rather pale, but still zebra.

    Some Plains zebra have shadow stripes between the bolder stripes and these often appear more brown than black being duller. I agree this is a zebra.
