Flash for me usually hides the thinning. It’s hard to tell in your case because it’s cut so short. I’d say it’s very mild

Statistically speaking, it is virtually never stress. So, starting with that point of Bayesian analysis and then adding your picture to the second part of the equation, then yes, it appears that it is 98 percent likely that you are experiencing mild (at this point) male pattern baldness but you have caught it plenty early enough to have options.... But with a razor cut, you might have just brushed it the wrong way. It's easier to tell sometimes with longer hair because you can clearly identify a swirl of hair loss.

To be less tongue in cheek, although Bayesian analysis is a powerful tool, what worries me is that you have a patch that seems to extend downward from the crown that is thin. That's not a good place to have thinning. If it were only the crown then maybe the picture would be inconclusive and it is, but I would take action because maintenance is far, far easier than regrowth and everyone on here knows that. Once follicles go to sleep, they tend not to like to be woken up....
