probably a dark phase of a bushpig (Potamochoerus larvatus)

I think from memory it turned out to be a bush pig. Or is it still up in the air? It certainly looks like a bush pig rather than a giant forest hog to me!
 
Somebody else came up with a theory that this individual could actually be a melanistic Red river hog, what do you guys think ?
