Can anyone help estimate my bf%?

I'm 5'7" and 167lbs. I'm guessing that I'm around 20% body fat, or at least I'm hoping, based on pictures of other people and the neck and waist measurement method. Just wondering if anyone else may have a better estimate or could reinforce what I already think. I'm currently cutting and want to start bulking once I'm around 14%-15%. Thanks for the help!

    I thought so but had to ask. Your flexing arm kinda throws my guess off, though - can't tell if it's a smooth transition to the pubic area. I'd have to see a side picture.

    Google the "pinch an inch" phrase and see if that helps.

    Yeah, the pic looks kinda choppy, I'll try to take a side photo later. Thanks for the input guys!

    If I had to take a shot at it, I would probably agree with your 20% guesstimate. Maybe a little under.

    I'd estimate high teens, say 17-18%.
