David reported that he has cleaned up his recording a bit. So, maybe the timbre 
has been changed in post by applying a high-pass filter?

Yes, a sonogram does not show such spectral differences very clearly. You could 
instead try a mean spectrum display (dB versus frequency).


As far as I know, the Roe Deer is the most abundant deer species in Europe and 
would therefore be the most likely candidate. David's description of the 
related trail camera images ("smallish deer with a large round white patch on 
its backside") would also account for this species.
