mustang foal

A friend of mine gave me permission to post the photo of this mustang foal that she recently photographed at the Burns, OR mustang holding pens. Any ideas on what her final color will be? Some of the herds that are held in these pens (specifically the south Steens HMA) are known to have horses with the silver dapple gene. I can't say for sure that this foal came from that HMA, but it could have. I assume the dam is one of the 3 bays in the photo. Sire is, of course, unknown. Any ideas on what color she will shed out to? [img]http://www.aphelionart.com/tanfoal.jpg[/img]

Silver buckskin (bay+silver+cream)...just guessing of course as only a DNA test will tell for sure.

yes, I understand it is just a guess and she is not mine (though I wouldn't mind if she was!)

Some other probable silvers from this HMA:

Oh yes I've have seen those photos, there are a few silvers that pop up! I'd even commented on that third pic. I love the mustang photos, so many colours!!

Dunno, the original foal looks pretty similar to this black silver foal of mine? Sorry about the mong pic LOL, but it's just the first ones I found of her colour about that age.

I think the original foal has even less foal coat gone, so looks more creamy over all in that picture. I think it looks like it's going chocolate though.
