Buckskin with a white mane??
http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/104356
Help! Not sure what color this guy is. Seems like he's got dun, bay, and flaxen? If possible could someone write out his probably genetics? If not I just need to know what y'all would call this color. Thanks!

Re: Buckskin with a white mane??
Silver dunskin.
His dam is palomino so we can confidently say he has a black base but carries chestnut.
He has black points but a lighter body, so he clearly has at least one agouti gene for bay.
His body is gold instead of brown, so he clearly has one cream gene.
He has a white mane and tail but is not chestnut-based, so he cannot be flaxen. His sire was bay with a black mane and tail, not silver. His dam was palomino, which does not express silver, and her dam was silver bay. We can confidently say he has one silver gene which he inherited from his dam.
He has dun markings. His sire looks to have been a regular bay from lines that do not appear to have dun. His dam has slightly darker legs so she could be a subtle dun. Her dam looks to have very faint zebra stripes, maybe, but has definitely produced a clearly marked dun when bred to a definite non-dun. So we'll say he has one dun gene from his mother's side.
We have no idea if he carries flaxen or tiger eye, and he is clearly not gray.
So his genotype that we know is Ee A_ CRcr Zz Dd T_ gg.
