Is this a hartebeest?

We think this is a hartebeest but we are not sure.

A hartebeest would be "bigger", i.e. with its belly about level with horizon, and wouldn't show that clear border between tan flank and white belly, all along its side. This is a Grant's gazelle, and from its thick neck, probably a big male.

My guess would have been Grants too, as the body shape is not quite right for hartebeest either.

I have tried to find 2 images showing a hartebeest and a large male Grants, standing in a position as close to the angle to camera, as the image being discussed, so they can be better compared, hope this helps.
