This look as young as alpha male gorilla compared to the one in the link below
https://rwandaugandagorillasafaris.com/t... Silverback gorillas become mature at the age of 34 years that when they start developing the silverback hairs.

This doesn't look like a silver-back to me.. no sagital crest.. has much growing up to do yet. Looks like a Ugandan lowlands gorilla to me. Might be this guy? http://www.gorillasandwildlifesafaris.co...

There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into:http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
