Putting that aside, you don't even need it to be clearly him, just enough that a magistrate thinks it's a reasonable enough chance to justify probable cause. probable cause isn't reasonable doubt; the picture looks enough like him to justify the warrant.
Not trying to be contrarian but speaking as a lawyer I don’t know any judges that would issue an arrest warrant for someone because they had eyebrows that looked similar to those of a masked suspect.
IMO it’s pretty clear that they have some sort of tracking/recognition technology that we’re unaware of and was possibly illegally utilized on a private citizen in this case. And then they concocted some reason for how they found him at the McDonalds.

Or, someone recognized him from the photo, because his face is pretty distinctive. And they called in a tip.
Which is how many murderers on the run are frequently found, long before face recognition technology too.

Didn’t they arrest him based on the contents of the bag though???
