Little feline immigrant-- help me identify my kitty adopted from Guatemala!

I lived in Guate for several years and adopted my sweet bb girl about a year ago.. I moved back to the States in December so if anyone is trying to transport a kitty from Central America to the US and needs help/info let me know! 

Anyway, she was born in Guatemala and I adopted her from a hostel... the man at the hostel gave me a long lecture about how she has actually "a real lineage" etc but I think he was probably just comparing her to the sweet street cats that are a thousand generations removed from their original heritage. 

She's a beautiful tabby, for sure, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight at all as to what her lineage might be, and how she/her mom and dad possibly wound up in Guatemala. She is at the very least unlike any other Guatemalan cat I've ever seen. 

Also, the pictures may not show accurately... but she is tiny. She's more than a year old and weighs no more than 11 pounds-- not due to any health issues! 

Here are the pictures and thanks for your help!!

The cat itself looks very nice, "but" it looks as a relatively ordinary tabby - although its a classic tabby / marbled, blotched / bullseye tabby.  So  not most common.

The fancy lineage he probably meant she has roots in England...   Possibly he said something about a Bengal ancestor  (although I myself dont think there is one).

11 lbs isnt that little, I would say its quite a lot for a regular tabby, and a female at that, not being fat either.   I presume she is nicely muscled.

You are perhaps used to big cats - Maine Coons??

You tell she is different from the usual  cats in Guatemala.  Do you have some pics on them?  Its always nice to know something about local natural breeds, natural varietees.

The girl on the selfie is very pretty, but this you probably know already!
