Difference between impala and reedbuck

    In picture ASG000y4hs, I suspect that I can see impalas. But I have some doubts: could they be reedbucks ? Are the rumps that I can see distinctive feature of impalas ?

    Vertical black bars on tail and haunches, black spot in groin, are typical of impala. Reedbuck has no black marks except black spot below ear and sometimes dark front shins. These are impala.
