Dark hair, dark skin = Tawny is considered a Colombiana.
Yes, I have been easily confused numerous times that I was Colombian and then the local being shocked that my Español is not up to par. Super sad face.
I chat in español for a good 5 minutes and then the dreaded question, "¿hable español?" Hands up. I have been caught. Smile. Laugh. Smile. I think he knows the answer to that.
People have mistaken my name to be Noni, Aires, and some local then decided to give me a colombian name, but by that point well we were all beyond to remember whatever that given name was.
Holler.
