What Color is She? LOOK AGAIN NOW

[Miniv]

Neat test, Mona! It just shows how sneeky our mini colors can be!

She looks very much like a sooty buckskin mare we own.......and we own our mare's parents, so we know the color genetics there. Her dam is perlino and her sire is sorrel - not silver bay. The mare was born looking like a classic buckskin and darkened up. And she has just thrown a colt the same classic buckskin color but we suspect that he will also darken.

Can anyone tell me what color this mare is? She is registered as a dun, but she has no dun characteristics. I am attaching several pics of her, and also a pedigree showing the colors of her ancestors.

This first one was taken at some time before I owned her, in the summer.

The next one was in April of this year, heavy in foal, and still in quite a bit of winter coat.

These next ones were all taken this month, still not shed out, but starting.

And here is the pedigree showing colors of horses...

I'd guess her to be a brown or smokey black. I think one of the "chestnut"s was probably a silver bay. I had a mare this exact color that was the same as yours at different times of year. She had a buttermilk buckskin sired by a black so that proved my mare was a black buckskin or smokey black.
