It is not a generic bugle. Generic bugles - Pattern 9299 from 1873 - c.1881, and the succeeding Pattern 10011 with its almost identical renewals from 1882 to today - are quite different in their details to your badge.
According to Churchill 1617 it may be a DLI or Sherwood Rangers collar. The DLI ones are 28mm high, the Sherwood Rangers slightly larger at 30mm.
