Yes or No?

Is this a long-lost portrait of Queen Mary Tudor? I came across this interesting article about the painting from Sawston Hall (which was burned after Mary found refuge there on her flight after the death of her brother, and which she promptly rebuilt for the family after being proclaimed Queen). I would be inclined to say it's not, just because it looks nothing like other portraits of her, but it's a fascinating question...
