She would be considered a brown spotted tabby Domestic Shorthair, since she doesn't have papers, however, what I find interesting is that she does have some hints of rosettes (above her front legs), as well as a random spotting pattern (vs. the linear spotting that comes with a broken mackerel tabby), so that does point to some possible Bengal ancestry! Her ears are also placed high on her head; giving her that "alert" expression. Maybe one of her grandparents was a Bengal. She's a gorgeous kitten!

Not bengal herself but may have a granddad whom was. OR she is a normal spotted tabby moggie with no fine connections

I agree, this girl looks like she has some diluted bengal blood in her. Those ears are really big, though, so she may also have some other breed appart from our all-time-favourite domestic short hair, unless feral and stray cats in your area have really big ears naturaly, of course.

I'm not very good at IDing cat breeds, but I did want to say that your kitty is very pretty! I love the markings on it.
