The first one is a light Berid. The second and third look like Castizos and the fourth is clearly Mestizo.

They look mestizo to me.

They clearly do look mestizo to me, or at least to some degree Amerindian.

All so good looking.

In south american context a mestizo is someone who is 50% amerindian and 50% spanish. This is a mestizo for me: http://oi59.tinypic.com/2d6qy6r.jpg

Mestizo is NOT a phenotype! It merely means someone who has partial European (usually Spanish) and partial Amerindian ancestry. It can mean anything from 9 Euro ancestors and 1 Amerindian ancestor to 9 Amerindian ancestors and 1 Euro ancestor. Therefore, the range of potential combinations and phenotypes is immense.

I didn't know that, here in Bogotá mestizo is someone who have evident indigenous features and it's a pejorative word because afro-colombians and mestizos tend to be poorer and uneducated, in Chile mestizo is also a pejorative word.
I Live in Colombia since 2013 and colombians -bogotá, medellín, cali- are mainly castizos and criollos for me.

Colombians are predominantly Mestizos, and that includes both more European-shifted types and more Amerindian-shifted types.
