Mystery color Mini

Description

Anybody want to take a guess at the color of this mini?
The tobino chestnut next to him is his half-brother. Dam and sire colors are unknown.
I'm pretty sure he's got a dun, and mabye a cream? Tobino, judging by the spot on shoulder, and maybe a roan? Black? but then again, his base coat seems to look like a bay/bay dilution, while he's head is fully black. His head really confuses me :XD: when a black-based horse/pony gets a lot of dilution gens, shouldn't his coat appear silver, rather then the goldish-red this guy has?

If you use this as stock, Please link back to me. I'd love to see what you make.
Do not re-upload this photo, and ask about off DA use.
Credit me, by linking the image you use, and by :dev Nixly: or :icon Nixly: (remove the space)

Also, if you like guessing in horse genetics, go see this mare and her foal! WARNING! I uploaded this as Stock, but *painted-cowgirl, did not!

Pretty sure he's a bay-based dun roan. Could be sooty or have a super large dun mask, perhaps both. And tobiano, obviously.

As for agouti, I'm fairly certain nothing could make a black or seal brown body so yellow while keeping the mane and head so dark and undiluted.
