Is this a young Topi?

Not an easy one, but on balance, I'd be more inclined to classify this as a young hartebeest. The colouring seems more in line with hartebeest, and the shape forming in those horns, along with the extended ridge at their base (which I suspect will eventually develop into the fused horn base of the hartebeest horn shape), make me think it's more likely to be a hartebeest.
