The observer reports that this animal had unmistakeable white spots 'like a deer'. It is however not a bushbuck... the head and hooves are suggestive of Puku. Lubumbashi has a large bushmeat market and gets much trade in wildlife products from Zambia. I'm submitting this more to see what experts think it may be... |

No Sign of spots in the photo - maybe the observer might have also perhaps seen a bushbuck and maybe got confused. There is no sign of the signature white bowtie on the neck that the bushbuck have. |
