Nah, I wouldn't dare that from a couple of pictures. What makes you say Kigoma, Enrico? :)

All the best, Thomas

For the slender head and the yellow of the male. Surely is not Mzuri, Ndole, Utinta or Moliro. These have short head and well present black spots. I 've never seen Mtoto, Makola and other populations but I think is more similar to tanzanian shape like Karilani, Sibwesa or Halembe (but these usually present more blue than Kigoma).
