Is this a unique color or just because she's a foal?

I personally haven't seen a foal with this color can someone help me out with this? And does anyone else have one fully grown so I can see the difference from foal to adult please?

I haven't seen a horse with that coloring, and it's definitely very interesting. She appears to be a Silver Mealy Chestnut with Blanket if that helps.

Silver isn't visible on chestnut. She's most likely just mealy chestnut with the lp markings and/or flaxen causing lightening of the mane/tail.

Edited: Now that she's a few months older, definitely bay base and not chestnut.

I've had a few similar foals although not with appaloosa markings. They look like mealy chestnut but some have grown up to be bay. Here's one who turned bay.

She seems bay based to me, because the legs are darker than for a chestnut foal, although her coat tone indeed looks really red. Hence the light mane has to be from a silver gene (flaxen doesn't show on bay, silver doesn't show on chestnut).
I have seen the bright belly on some horses in foal age - it doesn't seem to be related to real mealy, because they don't show it on adult colour, but I don't really know where it comes from, from what I've seen just a variant of foal colour. The white belly will disappear completely and turn into the normal colour. So silver bay blanket.

Thanks everyone for the help. I'll post a picture of her when she grows up and maybe that will better show her true color lol And thanks Corvus for giving me an example. It's funny how different they look from foal to adult lol

Check out my yearling. He was just like this filly and is a Silver on Bay. See his foal pics.

Abebe, has all the same except no Lp coloring.

I'd say silver pangaré wild bay blanket. If you look closely, its legs are darker, indicating bay, but the darkness in below its knees, meaning wild bay. The light belly isn't just its underside and extends up its face and sides, meaning pangaré, AKA mealy. Her father could carry mealy (mealy doesn't show on black) because his sire is mealy. As for silver, another reason there is no possible way the foal is flaxen (other than being bay), is that you can see black extending into the tail, flaxen doesn't do that.

Here's a picture of a wild bay dun as a foal, look closely at her legs
Here's an example of flaxen:
This is a picture of a mealy foal, there isn't much difference with this one and a non-mealy foal, but with the way your foal's lightness extends, its guaranteed to be mealy.

Wow Malakai thanks for the really in depth explanation As she's aging I can really see what you're talking about, I was just super confused when I first saw her. lol Thanks again everyone who has added their input, I love this community and how it comes together to help solve problems. <3
