Are there LEGO logos on the top of the neck, and in between the studs on the
legs? What does the top of the head look like?

No, that is why I asked.

At first glance, I would guess it was a clone brand & not LEGO; the colors look
a little off, it's really shiny (which is typical of clone plastics),
and I do not believe that torso or leg parts were made by LEGO... as has been
asked, do you see the LEGO logo on the neck top or legs? It doesn't necessarily
mean they are LEGO-printed (as custom printing can be done on authentic LEGO
parts), but if there is no logo, that's a dead give-away that their clone
brands right there...

Thanks guys, I just wanted to be sure. There is no Lego branding on it at all.
It's a shame. It's a nice looking minifig. I found it in a 30lb box
of Legos I purchased online.

For future reference: The plural of LEGO is LEGO. I don't know where people
get the idea that it needs an 's', just putting that out there for reference.
The word 'LEGO' is always capitalized.
This is what TLG state on their official site. I would prefer it if everyone
posting on this site followed proper and official naming conventions when referring
to LEGO branded products.
As to the minifig, if there is no LEGO trademark molded into the plastic, it's
very likely to be a clone brand. That would be an otherwise nice minifig, I suggest
you drop it off to a charity donation bin or your nearest recycling center, if
they can recycle plastic toys.
Cheers ...

It's an uphill battle, but not impossible. Even people that use "Kleenex"
as a noun don't say "Kleenexes", so there is hope for "LEGO"
as well. If you want to think of "LEGO" as a noun, it's a collective
noun, like "sheep." You can have one sheep or 5 sheep but you don't
have 5 sheeps. (unless you're a 3 year old.)
Another way to explain it to people is that "LEGO", as a brand trademark,
is not actually a noun. If you use it in a sentence, it's an adjective. As
in "LEGO brick" or "LEGO bricks."
"Heavy" is an adjective, like "LEGO." If you have a box that
weighs a lot, you'd say "that's a heavy box." If you have more
than one box you'd say "heavy boxes", not "heavies box."
Same for LEGO - LEGO brick or LEGO bricks, not LEGOS brick.
The more you know! (insert star swipe and jingle here.)

Well, if you are going to be the LEGO grammar police, it is not a "minifig".
It is a "minifigure".

I concur with the "LEGO" sentiment, and I try hard to inform others by
only using "LEGO" as intended... oh, & I have a *very* special bin
for all those clone brands (see image)...

Thanks again for the help. As for as the LEGO Legos debate. I know that LEGO
plural is LEGO. I was just asking a question and wasn't thinking about grammar.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to make that mistake and I won't
be the last. As far as using the LEGO brand name correctly, I ALWAYS use the
correct form with the trademark symbol in all caps on all my listings outside
of Bricklink. I also put a disclaimer below on all my listings.
LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize
or endorse this site.
Thanks again for the help.

If you want to follow the official line according to the company, the plural
of LEGO is not LEGO, as it has no plural. It is an adjective.
As for LEGO always being capitalised ... it wasn't always that way.

The pale washed out colour of the flesh doesn't look right either but that
could be the photo. Another sign is the heavy seam lines in the hands.
