mhagain has just left Hobbiton.
In the Grey Annals we have this statement for year 422:

Quote:
The men of Beor were dark or brown of hair, but fair of face, with grey eyes; of shapely form, having courage and endurance, yet they were no greater in stature than the Eldar of that day. For the Noldor indeed were tall as are in the latter days men of great might and majesty. But the people of Hador were of yet greater strength and stature, mighty among the Children of Eru, ready in mind, bold and steadfast.
I believe that the remark about the "people of Hador" is intended to be by comparison to the "men of Beor" and not to the Noldor here, but it really can be read either way.

Quendi and Eldar has the following:

Quote:
In general the Sindar appear to have very closely resembled the Exiles, being dark-haired, strong and tall, but lithe. Indeed they could hardly be told apart except by their eyes
So what applies to the Noldor also applies in general to the Sindar.
