The NHC dove standard calls for "flesh grey" ears, whereas the chocolate standard calls for "very dark greyish brown" ears. That plus those very red eyes makes me think he is a dove rather than a chocolate (the standard for chocolate actually calls for black eyes, although I think most have very dark brown eyes).
