That's the type of singer I am. Not bass, not baritone nor alto. It's whatever the person next to me happens to be singing. I just follow their lead. I was once in a massive church choir for a few weeks working on a special program. They let anyone in this choir so there I was in the bass section. Whenever we started to sing, I'd follow the guy next to me. It was great. We had a deep rich bass voice, until my "next to" buddy would turn his head for a moment and I could hear my own off-key squeaky voice making a mockery of the song. Then when he'd turn back we started to sound magnificent again.
When I sing hymns in church I might sing some pseudo bass/ baritone but if the lady behind me is singing soprano loud enough, don't be surprised if I start singing mezzo.
