You're asking for a rare person that has accurate information. A good website with what your looking for is:

That's a tough one. Even the pictures on the builtlean site are misleading because height and body type/shape can have a lot to do with how you hold your weight. I don't have a picture (wouldn't share one of my bare midrift even if I did, to be honest) so you're just going to have to trust me here... My BF is about 33% but I look more like the 40% picture in my belly area due to loose skin and the way I hold my weight. Some women hold their wieght more in their hips/thighs, some hold it more in their waist.0

^^^ This. Also note that age is also a factor. From the site:Age – The pictures in this post assume ages of around 25-35 years old. Most body fat measurement devices will reflect higher body fat levels as the age increases. For example, a 20 year old man and a 50 year old man may have the same subcutaneous body fat measurement (fat under the skin), but the 20 year old may be 15% and the 50 year old will be at 20%. As we age, fat around the organs (visceral) and within muscle (intramuscular) tends to increase and most formulas take this into account.
See, for example:
I'm 55 and 5'5".
SW: 201
CW/GW: 150
BF (according to calipers): 27.6%, which places me in the middle of the "ideal" range for a woman my age. I can't vouch for accuracy, can only say that my body feels right.
A current picture appears on the right-hand side of my avatar photo and at the far right of my ticker.0 -
I am 5"7" and 34 years old. I did a bod pod several months ago and was 25% bf at 145 pounds. I began at around 155 pounds. My goal is 135 pounds, which should put me at about 20%.
You can see photos in my profile.0
