Help with this colt

My Colt


Any idea what this one's coat is? I'm thinking it's palamino with tobiano for the socks and some kind of metallic on top. Not sure what's causing the dark legs.

Dark legs are your indication of the base color, in this case bay. Bay with cream makes your horse a buckskin, not a palomino. Plus your foal has silver, that's where the whitish-mane and tail comes from.

Cute foal, he's turning out nice.

Plus I want to add that your colt also has pangare.

Thanks a lot. Was having some difficulty telling buckskin from palomino.
