Some people wear brown Pagri. Some wear no Pagri in Hanafi-Sunni group. (Ahle-Sunnat Wal-jamaat).
These are somewhat different from Deo-Bandi-Wahaabi group of hanafi sect.

JazakAllah khair brother cricketplaya for the clarification. Deobandis are actually far closer to Barelvis than they are to Wahabis. Problem is that this is not often realised.
To be a Wahabi or to be accurate a follower of Abdul Wahab one needs to be from the lineage of Hanbalis.
There are traditional Hanbalis, and there are Wahabis. The Salafis although do not associate to any group are closest to the Wahabis due to their greater association with Imam bin Hanbal.
Amongst the Salafis there are groups too.
Both Rai Barelviya and Rai Deobandia are the two Indian Subcontinent Hanafi groups. There are sub-groups from amongst both of these. Tablighi-Jammat are part of Deobandis but not all Deobandis do Tabligh(Kharooj). And groups like Minhaj-ul-Qur'an and Dawat-e-Islami are from Barelvia.
Please acknowledge all of these as brothers in Islam and do not call them sects.
