In EF 6.1.3 you can get the right type using

using (var context = new BloggingContext()) { 
    var blog = context.Blogs.Find(1); 
    var entityType = ObjectContext.GetObjectType(blog.GetType()); 
}

Note that if the type passed to GetObjectType is an instance of an entity type that is not a proxy type then the type of entity is still returned. This means you can always use this method to get the actual entity type without any other checking to see if the type is a proxy type or not.
