There are different groups within Tamil brahmins. Iyer and Iyengar are the major groups. There is one other major group that I don't recall. Swamy is an Iyer and they tend to be fair more often than not.I swear I thought they looked different, seen some whose parent chose to remain in Pakistan after 47. seen some in UK too (spent some months working with 2 in 85).
this video also reinforces my impression of what a Tamil looks like
If you know Tamil actor Kamal Haasan, he is an Iyengar. Google him if you are not familiar with that name.
