Red flanked Duiker

http://www.zoochat.com/581/bay-duiker-march-2015-a-405838/
This^is a bay duiker. Bay duiker have a pretty-well uniform chestnut brown color across the body except for the well defined black dorsal stripe, hence their alternative name: the black-backed duiker, compared to the red-flanked duiker's brighter, more rufous-colored body with a far less defined, yet wider dark dorsal stripe that starts behind the shoulders. Bay duikers also have a longer skull compared to the red-flanked's very short and compressed one. They are, too, larger weighing upwards of 50lbs and measuring around 20in at the shoulder, compared to the red-flanked duiker at 30lbs and 15in at the shoulder.
