I think the boars found in Sri Lanka are Indian Boars (Sus scrofa cristatus). The Indian boar differs from its European counterpart by its large mane which runs in a crest along its back from its head to lower body, larger, more sharply featured and straighter skull, its smaller, sharper ears and overall lighter build.

HI Chris and fellow Yala traveler. Cool shot. I agree. I have a spotting of the same species which I identified as you did:
