1. Duplicate the Background layer2. Use the Magic Wand set to 32, Contiguous. Hold down the Shift key as you select the entire area surrounding the animal. Then Select > Inverse to Select the animal.3.  Filter > Blur > Average. Then Eyedropper-click on the flat brown color to make it the Froreground Color. Next, Edit > Undo Average 4. Edit > Fill > Foreground Color. Blending Mode set to Color  5. Select > Inverse Selection. Choose a white area with the eyedropper so that it is the Foreground color and Edit > Fill with the Blending Mode set to Normal Then, Deselect the Selection6. Use the Lasso tool with a 4 pixel Feather to Select the dark area that had carried the orangre stain and use Curves to lighten it.

here is what I would do t… Not the best but it could save the day

First extract the buffalo from the background (select subject) and replace the background with a white layer.

Then add an adjustment layer > Hue and saturation and fix the saturation and luminosity more or less as follow

After that you could colorize the buffalo to recover the brownish tint if needed

hope it helps
