I agree with Kipawa - he is a lovely boy whatever andf I'm sure whether basenji in him or no you love him just the same!!
Without seeing him in the flesh I wouldn't like to give an opinion whether there is Basenji in him.
Welcome to the forum.
I think you must have a mix there, he has the waistline, larger breast bone, some wrinkles on the forehead, some curl to tail, size, I don't think full-blooded though b/c he lacks a white tip tail, and the brown color, but he is very loving looking, and my B sleeps like him also. Whatever, I would treat him like a Basenji since he has alot of the mannerisms. Sweet!
Whoever and whatever he is, he is adorable - he does sleep like a basenji, and he's welcome, as are you, to the forum.
Yeah I've been doing some research on the Pariah dog and I do see the similarities but the weight is completely off…. He's 21lbs pariah dogs are 45-60lbs.
Here is my little pup. I love him very much and he is my best friend.
Info:

Loving
He has a single loop tale
Short Fur, no shedding
No Bark, but yodel.
Wrinkle in the forehead
Basic behavioral patterns that match a pure bread basenji.Weird thing is that he has all brown fur. LMK what you guys think.
Mischievous as they are.
looks like a croos but he is so cute….
A cute mix…but I do see some b in him!
I believe i see some B in him.. he's so adorable Love the pic with him looking at u from the side and also the one with him sitting like he's waiting for a cookie .. 
That's a definite Basenji pose!!! very cute!
The yodel would indicate basenji in there for sure, lol but wow that is one incredibly cute dog! Bless you for rescuing.
So many of those poses and positions are the same things I see Paco do. I'm also no expert, and Paco's my first dog that's mine-all-mine for me to watch all the time, but I feel like Tag's face is very Basenji-like…and if he yodels as well...
if he doesn't have Basenji in him, I'd at least say you could describe him to others as a Basenji-like dog.
