  Hi, here is actually adult male thomsons-gazelle, hornshape curving backwards , tips forward. (In adult male grants horns diverge, tips backwards and grant females have thinner horns). This is not so easy image, because the face is so dark. The light in image may affect also a bit, but they do sometimes have furless looking parts on face. Also, adult male thomsons have very prominent dark pre-orbital gland below eyes 😃
