That is a very young kitten! Is there a reason he had to be separated from his mother at such a young age?

As for whether he has any Bengal ancestry, if you could take pictures clearly showing the complete pattern on his sides, that would make it easier to see if he has an unusual tabby pattern. In the pictures you posted, I don't see anything unusual that would lead me to believe he has Bengal influence; it is normal for tabbies to have spots on the belly, so that doesn't tell you anything.

I agree.

He seems to be a regular classic tabby. You see it on the bullseye.

Thank you. I was told mother was Bengal she did look it got caught with neighbours cat not sure what he was. I’m not sure what a bullseye is? He has went from wobbly to running and climbing up legs and beds couches in a day or two he’s a Torag lol

If he has no visible bullseye but just the marbles than yes he MAY have some bengal ancestry.

A guess momma isnt no bengal but a half or even a quartenon.

A good photo from aside could help.

Aww he is cute. What happened to his mom and the rest of his litter? He is far too young to be away from them.

I think there is a normal bullseye pattern in the side view picture, but it is very dark so it is hard to see. Part of this is that the kitten is very young. As the kitten's coat matures it should become more clear.

Looks like a classic tabby. It might be a bit clearer as he grows
