Great photos. The technological advances in camera traps are giving us views of wildlife that would be unthinkable two decades ago.

Absolutely! For the first time we can see how different this species actually are. It resembles the Maxwell's Duiker externaly, but the striking superciliary (over the eyebrow) line is much more distinctive. The drawing in the HMW2 was not perfectly accurate and Kingdon didn't include a drawing in the Mammals of Africa vol.6 or in the new edition of the Kingdon's field guide from 2015.
