He looks like a German Shepherd to me (my favorite breed).

The next time I am at a dog show I plan to learn to distinguish these breeds in photos. I know they are both successful at police work.

This one is a German Shepherd.  

 

There actually is a lot of difference between the two despite they have some similarities.  

 

Belgian Malinois are smaller, smaller body, more a medium to large dog.  German Shepherds are large dogs.

 

Their facial features are quite different even though they might have similar coloring.  From the side, their heads do resemble one another. 

 

I think German Shepherds have kinder eyes and facial features.

I agree. German Shepherds are a very special breed, IMO.
