If you want Tabaqui to look as normal as possible I believe being the golden jackal would be the better choice since they walk seperately and then look for each other while hyenas when they hunt walk and run altogether. He'd have an easier time with his trickiness as a jackal because he'd have more camouflage than the striped hyenas do. Plus that jackals might sleep  for a while but not as long as the hyenas. If Tabaqui was the golden Jackal he'd be able to do food jokes driving chunks of food to Mowgli and back to himself running near the river streams too, not just regular annoying jokes. Tabaqui would scare more of mowgli's friends being the golden jackal because he'd chase mouse-like rodents, pheasants, coots, francolins, ducks, moorhens, passerines. and with fruits Tabaqui would have quite an easy time as a golden jackal that would give him the choice of also being playful with fruits when he wants to underestimate Mowgli.

Watermelon, Apricots, pears, grapes, muskmelons, and nuts. As a golden jackal Tabaqui could even try to scare Kaa. Reptiles are another golden jackal prey. He could play catch with Mowgli when being playful with fish joking with Mowgli on the river.
