A recent batch I ordered came with a dark colored pcb and 4mb flash (like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-ESP8266-serial-WIFI-wireless-module-wireless-transceiver/2031529724.html Maybe this is what the factory's are producing now?

Mostly by reading chip markings, ie 25Q40blah vs 25Q32blah or something similar, number after Q in almost all cases means Mbits.
40 - 4Mbit
32 - 32Mbit
