This is our new foal born last night. I'm thinking she's solid black, but her sides are so silvery. She has a dark black mane and tail, and it's black all down her black, but then turns silvery along her sides and legs.

I know blacks sometimes look 'smokey' as new foals, and if her mom wasn't a silver I wouldn't really question it. Here's her pics.

What do you all think, black, or silver?
 
Definatly black.

A silver foal is more blue or even almost palomino looking when born and they will have white/silver manes and tales, so no this is not silver.

Congrats on your new foal! :aktion033:
 
Definitely black. Here is a picture of a newborn black silver filly for comparison:

Thanks for the color help, I was really hoping it was black, but afraid to be absolute about it. Thanks for the congrats too. I'm so happy with her. The pictures don't do her justice at all. She has the most amazingly tiny head and teacup muzzle.
