Many thanks in advance

It looks like it, yes. But the easiest way to check if you have Androgenetic Alopecia is going to see a dermathologist. He'll tell you.

He'll put you on Finasteride and it will probably be enough.

One of the keys to fight Androgenetic Alopecia is timing. Getting on Finas as soon as you see something wrong with your hair will save you years and years of hair loss. Combine Finas with vitamins, good food, 8 hours of sleep, sport, etc. Take care of your body and you hair will feel it as well.

Minoxidil is really good combined with Finas, but IMO is not good on the long run. Your hair becomes too dependant on it, and as soon as you drop it you'll have one hell of a shedding. That's why I don't use it as much as Finas, vitamins, good shampoo, good food and healthy lifestyle.

My kind of Androgenetic Alopecia is difuse one; I'm not really receding at the temples but more at the crown of my head. And while I'm a bit worse than you, your crown looks pretty much like my one did a year ago.

As I told you, go see the doctor asap. He's the one that will tell you. To me, it looks like some small thinning which is related to the first stages of Androgenetic Alopecia. It's not really that bad; some Finasteride will help you a lot.

It could very well be a cowlick, but the second picture looks like thinning. I'd suggest seeing a dermatologist if you're really worried.

If you would have just posted the first picture I would say you were fine but the second picture shows the start of some thinning.
