Sooty or a 'normal' buckskin

Hi! Some one told me that my horse will be a sooty buckskin. Now what do you guys think? Will he becom a 'golden' buckskin or a sooty?

Most horses called sooty buckskin are brown based with cream. He isn't brown based so he will be a normal looking buckskin in that sense. Actual Sooty often develops later with age. He may get some sooty countershading, but many horses do.

These are brown based 'sooty buckskins'. Your boy won't mature to be this dark.

So you think that he may have sometimes a sooty (something in between the pictures u showed and a normal buckskin) look but other times he may have a normal buckskin look?

Edit: the Black tobiano on the second picture is his dad :) (homozygous black)
