Is this Salmon Patch or a Port Wine Stain

My baby was born with a “stork mark” (as the midwife called it). It was red/pink but seems to be getting darker. I had a quick Google which suggests it’s either a salmon patch or a port wine stain. Can anyone with experience tell the difference? It’s on the back of the neck but extends below his hairline and I am just conscious that as a boy it’ll probably be on display and may be an insecurity as he gets older.

Not the best picture but he has a lot of hair and it’s on the back of the neck so difficult to take a picture of with a tiny baby! Also excuse my blue nails. Was painting with my toddler!
