Morphologically speaking, the pit in the lacrimal bone just in front of the eye socket is the diagnostic feature to differentiate muleys and whitetails. If it is < 10mm deep it is a whitey, > 10mm muley. I'd be really surprised if it isn't a muley but you can't see the lacrimal pit well enough to determine species in the photo.

Gumbo has it!!

One quick look at the lacrimal gland pits would distinguish the species.
