African or Brown Chinese?

[goosemama]

I am just new to having geese so need some help. Was given a gander who needed a new home and a female Embden. I am having trouble identifying from breed photos if he is an African or Brown Chinese - they kind of look the same to me. Anyone have some pointers for me?

African are closer in size and stature to the toulouse.
They have a wider and shorter neck than a chinese.
Chinese are smaller and lighter weight.
Thinner and longer neck and hold their bodies in a more vertical position, the african hold their body in a more horizontal position.
Its hard sometimes to tell because alot of people crossbred the two varities.

Just stumbled on some more reading on Africans - it said they have a dewlap? If that is the case then I must have a Brown Chinese since he does not. This gander is probably not a cross bred from a farm flock as he was purchased from a hatchery by the original owner in a "variety pack" of different goose breeds.
