Well they do share the Portuguese ancestry in common with Brazilians, but their African side is closer to that of Dominicans.

Maybe you're seeing the Portuguese look in them, then.

Brazilians' African ancestry is Angolan and Togolese/Beninese/Nigerian. Little to no Senegambian.

She looks much more than 10% black.

These look the most DR.

The rest would all pass but they have a distinguishable Brazilian/CV look.

So Afro-Portuguese then.

Maybe the ones with the slightly more rounded eyes could pass better in the DR and the slimmer more almond shape examples not as much.

where would they pass better?

where would they pass better?

I meant that (the thinner eyed examples) might pass less in the DR. Maybe Brazil would be a better fit.

The striking thing is that CVs rarely look African American, even the blacker ones.

Well, not sure if this is why but many African Americans have about 60+% North Atlantic/Keltic admixture while Cape Verdeans have more Iberian admixture.
