I'm not saying that it's definitive that he must be a panther because of Bagheera, but I am saying (as I pointed out in my edit to my comment above) that it's not wrong to take into account that Bagheera is a panther, since we do have this trend going on that Faunus characters who allude to animals/beasts tend to share traits with their allusion.

I'm not sure why they would name him Ghira and give him black hair if he is supposed to allude to Mufasa, especially since he has a connection with Sienna, who seems to allude to Shere Khan and even has a tiger trait.

I suppose, for now, the most we can do is just say he's "big cat based" instead of leaning one way or the other on lion vs panther. But he still seems far more likely to allude to Bagheera.
