I'm no expert and this is a difficult one unless the models are in the hand but it looks a little lighter than mine.

As some of you may recall i got caught out with one of these not so long ago having bought a "Bronze" #33 via ebay. When i received it it was a dark gold. Based on your image John i would be erring towards dark gold however you really need to see these in the hand or have it sitting next to a genuine dark bronze Muira to be sure. The bronze Muira's are very distingtive.

looks light bronze to me from photos - the red undertones separate the bronze from the gold

light bronze. A dark one is much darker of color.
