Nanny or Billy?

A friend took this pic in Colorado. She was referring to it as a “he”. Nanny or Billy? I have zero mountain goat ID skills.

I thought it might be a nanny. Thanks for confirming.

The shape of the horns and absence of a rubbery black pad behind the horns are a dead giveaway that it's a nanny.

I agree, nanny. Billies will have more mass in their horns. Looks like a young goat though which makes it tougher to tell. As nannies get older and their horns grow longer they develop a noticeable change in the angle of their horn about 3/4 of the way up whereas billies maintain a more even curve to their horn.
