    Well, it's obviously something cat-like with spots. The balance of probability would suggest a Serval, since these are the most commonly seen cats in night-time shots.

    I don't see anything to positively identify it as a Genet. The spots look rather small and there's no sign of a dark stripe down the spine. Given this, and the extreme rarity of Genet images, I would have probably classified it as a Serval. Very hard to be sure, though.

    This is the only clear image of a Genet that I've come across:
