I am pretty sure you can't just look at a mix and declare what it is. Scientific studies have debunked that over and over. Best to do a DNA test, in my opinion. I have a mix who was advertised as a Basenji Mix, and her DNA results confirmed it. If you just looked at her and made a judgement, it would be mixed: her color was all askew, her tail was half-curled, she was smaller and featured more slender face and feet than a pure-bred B.
But, apparently, the 1/4 Min Pin (the ONLY other DNA in her sample) contributed some significant traits. Behavior and personality wise, Basenji rules the day. Again, I recommend a DNA test, and they improve by the day.
What is this other B identity thing that is mentioned in this thread? Is it also a DNA test, or something else?
Oh, and hey, your baby is way cute!
Smiling basenji'!

Caught Shango with a big smile on his face this afternoon. It was after our fun walk to the park and it made me want to see more of those basenji smiles!
Let's see 'em!

Cute pic! I always thought this one of Lenny looked like he was smiling…

I always think my dogs look like they smile as they run. I especially love this one of Rio. For those who get The Basenji magazine it will be familiar since it is in the most recent issue.
