This is a steenbok, but only in dutch,
the english name is ibex.
(see the request on which it was posted)
In english the name steenbok applies to the antilope
not to the Eurasian species of goat.
So I would propose that you change the filename
accordingly so it comes out of the correct search.
(There are two pictures ob ibex/steenbok)
By the way, these pictures were taken in 1990
in the Sierra de Gredos in Spain.

The Alpine ibex (Capra ibex), also known as the steinbock or bouquetin, is a species of wild goat that lives in the mountains of the European Alps. It is a sexually dimorphic species with larger males who carry larger, curved horns. The coat colour is typically brownish grey. Alpine ibex tend to live in steep, rough terrain above the snow line.
