I'd call it a rose gray, but I'm not sure

I think it's a Grulla Dun Horse, here's a picture of a Grulla Dun,

(I may be wrong but i really don't think it's a Bay Dun.)
Ah! Grulla makes more sense. I thought Bay may fit because of some of his coloring.

BlackOak is correct - that horse is a brown dun tobiano.

Classic dun (bay dun) looks like this:

Grullo/grulla/black dun looks like this:

You also don't say 'grullo dun' - grullo (pronounced grew-yo) is the Spanish word for black dun - it's also gendered. A mare is referred to as grulla (grew-ya) and a gelding/stallion as grullo.
