What a beauty...congrats...He appears very Tonkinese from your photos...The aqua eyes and graduated mink pattern coat are Tonk specific characteristics...resulting specifically from the Siamese/Burmese crossing. (blue plus gold = aqua, Point coat plus solid coat = mink coat pattern)

Another specific Tonk characteristic is the nose...they all have a slighly convex nose shape...with sort of an angled bump...I think it is what makes their faces not appear as long as the other Oriental breeds.

Here's Alastair's profile...
