Bangladeshis are usually very dark, but their features can in fact be often quite harmonious.

Sort of, although his skintone isn't really that common even among Amerindians (darker-skinned Latin Americans usually are more olive-brown rather than the ash colour most South Asians have).

Looks like a middle class British Sylheti.

Welcome back mate. Where have you been? And how can you be so precise about his social class?

Thanks!

I say middle class because, Bangladeshi caste and socioeconomic standing achieved in Britain, tend to match up, in my experience.

And back there, it's tied in with selective marriage and blood.

He looks like farming stock, basically.

Do you mean Dinaro-Australoid? And since when were even partial Dinarids common in South Asia?

This is a bit of an old post so my bad for that but I'm curious about this comment specifically.

In a South Asian context, it's definitly not true and it's the other way around. Banglas are a bit lighter skinned on average than most Indian ethnicities/groups (except the ones up in the Himalayan mountain zones and Punjab). That's what I've seen in reality and that's how it is statistically. Here's a map from Biasutti confirming it.

It may seem different because most Indians are Punjabis and stuff and the Bangla immigrants are always super dark because of lifetime sun exposure/damage etc. Anyways, all South Asians are very dark compared to Euros, East Asians and Central Asians so that's why I was curious about the very dark bit because in a South Asian context definitely not. It's clearer amongst diaspora tbh

Are Sylhetis (90% of British Bangladeshis) that dark? I don't think so myself...
