This. Something between Pontid, Dinarid and Alpine.

Bulgarians have a broad spectrum in which the strongest components are Atlanto-Mediterranean, Dinaric/Noric, CM (Upper Paleolithic), Corded Nordic and blends of the already mentioned.
There isn't really an average look but these are some Bulgarians whose types are pretty common:

No. Pontid is an existent but not predominant phenotype mostly seen in the Northeastern areas of the country.
This map of Bulgarian anthropologist Petar Boev can give you a good idea of the Atlanto-Med vs. Pontid ratio among Bulgarians, as well as one of the distribution of other types:
Anthropological types of the Bulgarian population created by Boev in 1972 (Source: Р. Boev. Die Rassentypen der Balkanhalbinsel und der Ostägäischen Inselwelt und deren Bedeutung für die Herkunft ihrer Bevölkerung. S., 1972). Each sign shows predominance of the respective phenotype in the corresponding area.
In red: Atlanto-Mediterranean
In blue: Northern types and Northern admixed ones (Nordids, Northern Cromagnids, Norids, Sub-Nordids, Nordo-Mediterranids, etc.)
In green: Pure Dinarids
In violet: Pontic Mediterranean
In yellow: Mongoloid influenced types (East Baltids, Turanids, etc.). They were said to be presented among Bulgarians of the Shopluk region, as well as among Bulgarian Turks from the Eastern Rhodope mountains and Dobrudja.

Coon, when speaking about Bulgarians, also considered Atlanto-Mediterranean as a much more common type than Pontid (though he also posted Pontids).

If we have to form a composite of the most common types it would be a mix of Atlanto-Med and Corded with Dinarid and CM elements.
