you need to fill this out...go to the first page and quote it and then fill it out and post so we can help you out and it appears to be a female flap neck

Flapneck. Senegals heads are shaped differently. But they are similar looking.

Trace knows chams inside and out. If she says flap neck, you have a flap neck. If you have more questions after reading the lint to them just let us know.
