VERY Minimal Roan on Palomino (Results came today 4/22)

Typically, I post about horses I find or have questions about that aren't mine. But this time, its one of our boys! lol This is Tweetie (Olenas King Texas), he is a 2006 palomino QH stallion. This winter I had some sneaking thoughts that he may be hiding roan since his winter fuzzies really mimicked roan (dark legs, dark face, etc) but in the summer, he sheds out to this amaaaazing golden palomino with dapples (he also gets sort of sooty and some bendor marks). I was grooming him yesterday and noticed some marks on his neck that reminded me of corn marks on a roan. He is pretty much done shedding but his chest is still very light. His sire is a buckskin but MUST be hiding roan or has minimal roan somewhere (hubby says no, but he has never looked at something minimal before and I only have one photo to go off of). He has a blue roan two generations back (found him online, hes for sure blue roan) and his dam from that horse was palomino and could also easily hide roan. Reason I say it must be him is because we have a blue roan stallion that is by the same buckskin whose mom I HAVE seen and she is for sure just black and has never foaled any other roans besides our boy, Blue. So here is Tweetie.. the photos really don't express it the way you can see in person. The light was bad and hes so shiny its hard to distinguish. I'm going to probably take some more photos today if it doesn't rain.
