| Hi
That does slook like a Natal specimen but also could be a Western Cape specimen(what Ive personally seen).
But the red markings on the face would more likely suggest more from the Savanha of Southern Africa (Northern Natal).
It is a very decent size male, enjoy him!

| Agreed.
It resembles some Natal ones I have seen.
W. Cape ones also tend to have more orange in them. |
