Silver compounds are mostly insoluble (except silver nitrate of course) so you can safely assume that the precipitate you obtained was a silver compound and knowing silver bromide forms a yellow precipitate, it is a good bet to guess there is bromide ions (note ions not bromine) present.

your compound is likely a bromide salt rather than bromine water or pure bromine (i'm assuming this is a high school lab report). but if your test compound was fuming reddish brown fumes then it is probably bromine water
