As much as I heard males from Namibia average something like 70.3 kgs as liupaard said and there was another post of the weights of several males that averages around 72 kgs somewhere. I would give this leopard a weight of around 86 kgs on empty stomach. Still a large animal.

Normal in regards to its body length and although the skull is a bit behind the man it doesn’t seem to be anything excessive.
He also said that he has no idea about its skull score.

In regards to Namibian Leopard size

A 290 cm long leopard???? Man I'm so impressed I mean male lions are generally around 280-310 cms long from head to tail and I thought the longest leopard ever measured was about 275 cm long shot in Algeria (yes, barbary leopard). 

That's the max length measurement I used in my size comparisons (can you please see them? It's always on wild fact but the thread is "size comparisons" and the page is the last, number 76)

You can easily recognize them I used a tesla-like font for the title, the background is grey with a black figure for a man and animals side by side. If i remember correctly the comparisons were leopard vs grey wolf, leopard vs canada cougar, bengal tiger vs sout african lion and african leopard vs Pantanal jaguar.

Figure the gentleman is 6' or 182cm

The head of the gentleman is still above the Leopard and the leopards tail base reaches his shin but notice his legs are bent. 
So let's say when he straightens out the Leopards head and straightens out his legs, the Leopard HBL will be around 4.5-5 and the Tail length generally is 3'

So 137cm- 152cm body length and an estimated TBL of 228cm-243cm

Also you need to be careful when comparing HBL of other specimens. First you must find out the protocol used (Between the pegs or over the curves)
Between the pegs will be more accurate as over the curves leaves more room for error and produces a larger number.
Also in regards to shoulder height, you must find out if they are measuring to the bottom of the foot while it's extended down or if they are measuring the beginning of the heel pad. The bottom of the foot will increase the height as well. Reply
