Bohor Reedbuck in Tarangire National Park

Taken in Tarangire National Park.
My guide said it was a rhebok, but from the IUCN distribution map and cheklist of mammals of the park; it clearly isn\'t. I suspect that it is a reedbuck and I misheard, but I think that there are a couple of species in Tarangire so can someone confirm please?
 
Definitely a reedbuck, probably bohor, but I have no books here at the moment to confirm....
 
Looks very definitely like a reedbuck to me so I think your mishearing theory is solid - looking at this checklist - http://www.tarangiresafarilodge.com/pdf/mammals.pdf - the options are Bohor or a slight chance of Mountain - from the colouration I'd say definitely Bohor Reedbuck. :)
 
Bohor Reedbuck. Mountain Reedbuck have a grey coat (unlike the animal in the photograph) and like mountainous areas. Bohor like grasslands.
 
Ok, thank you for the sensible suggestions. And lowland anoa, whilst I realise that you are trying to be helpful, please don't turn the ID threads into random guessing games :)
