This is from Official Himalayan national park site. They gave upto 550kgs weight for them. So probably not a small one..

To add to confusion there are actually two types of brown bear subspecies in the Himalayan region one is a Himalayan brown bear or red bear ursus arctos isabellinus and the other is Tibetan brown/ blue bear ursus arctos prouinosus. The photos
Himalayan brown bear are overall reddish in coloration

The Tibetan blue bear have darker brown almost blackish body and paler face almost like wearing a yellow mask, they have prominent white chest marking

Apparently blue bears are more carnivorous and aggressive one, they have been known to charge vehicle and people. I don't know much about Himalayan brown though they might be more placid of the two. Pretty confusing right!!!
