OK, it would be nicer to be able to see the front feet - they are black/dark in magnicornis and pale in fera. I would say that it isn't a very good photo to have on Wikipedia because it isn't easily identifiable as T.fera ... better to have one that shows all of the salient features :)

Saying that, I keep looking at the width of the frons and, assuming that it is a male, it does look very wide, which would suggest magnicornis.
