What color would you guys call her? Obviously she's considered a chestnut, but I know there's more to it. The particular color looks familiar and I'm not remembering it.

I would say that this chestnut filly is fashioning
a recent hair clipping that makes her look a little bit
lighter in color. In order to make a better visual assessment
I think that several other photographs thru time would be
necessary. Or, is she showing another kind of Sweet Return
kind of phenotype? Quaere! Lets wait and see if more photos
are available.

That was also my thought, she looks like she's been clipped - I think her tail is what gives it away. There was another picture of her somewhere at a different angle (more face on) and she looked like she had a clip line along her neck. I'll try to find it.
