It is KV466 in D minor.

Bb horn parts don’t go higher than top space E. 

If this had been for Bb basso horn s the 2nd horn would mess with the bass line 
in bar #16. Look like B alto to me.

Lawrence, I do not have the score here, but it is K482 from Dec. 1785, a piano 
concerto in E-flat.
If the first horn part does not exceed the written g2 (on top of the staff), 
the 
8th harmonic on Bb-alto horn, it is in alto for sure. The bb-alto part would 
not 
employ "manipulated" pitches. Mozart did not employ Bb-basso horns often.

Conductors are stupid sometimes: very easy: Bb-alto means horns sounding 1 full 
step below the written line, Bb-basso means the same but with an additional 
octave added verse bottom.
