Astronomers are great at this. Three postulated categories of dark matter include:

* WIMPs: weakly interacting massive particles

* MACHOs: massive compact halo objects

* RAMBOs: robust associations of massive baryonic objects

There's also the HERO (hyper extremely red object), which isn't quite dark, but close.
