new mustang filly

I just adopted a yearling filly from a BLM adoption in California. She is bay with two blue eyes. She also has roaning all over and interesting facial markings. I'm curious about her genetics and would appreciate any opinions on this. She has no spots and is just about one year old now.

What herd is she from? The reason I'm asking is because of her lack of leg white I'm wondering about frame.

What an interesting face...and looks sweet...I agree on possible frame along with the splash (it loves to hide in other patterns alot)...I'd test her to be sure about her OLW status if you ever plan on breeding her (although most of the mustang owners I know, don't - easier, cheaper and more eco friendly to adopt)

Very neat! I agree with suspected fame, might have to wait till she sheds out more to better guess her agouti status.

Thanks for all the helpful thoughts! She is from Twin Peaks and she also has a dorsal stripe, not real defined, but definitely there. No plans on breeding her. I need to read up on genetics, as I'm new to all this. She is very bright and loves to learn. She is now enjoying scratches all over and learning about the halter. She was scared to death of people for a while.
