Answer
Hi Mary,

The way you can tell if you have a Syrian hamster is mainly by size.  If she's large, then she's a Syrian hamster.  Syrian hamsters come in many different colors.  Dwarf hamsters are just that - dwarves.  They're very small.  The Siberian Dwarf (also called Dwarf Winter White Russian) hamster is generally grey and white.  The Campbell's Dwarf hamster is usually light brown and white.

Here's a picture of a Syrian hamster:
