In my opinion their facial features are very distinguishable from SSA even if they might have similar hair and coloring.

They look more caucasoid, funnily enough they resemble to an extent some lighter skinned Nigerians who have a more robust build.

do you think they have some admix or is it just features they developed independently?

Some could pass, others look blatantly Pasifika.

Some can be mistaken for Africans. In general they have longer midface and narrower, less flat nasal bridges than SSA.

Those below look like the Australoid element found in Indians. Papuans do not look similar to Africans at all... Some Melanesians do
