He certainly looks a Silver Black to me, and I do agree the foal/yearling pictures are not typical BUT when you first posted them I did not think he was Palomino.
Smutty does not really affect the coat like that, and no, you are right there is no test for Smutty/Sooty, and I have seen horses that are darker than that test Palomino....BUT (again
) when Sooty turns the coat that dark it usually turns the mane and tail dark as well, even on a Palomino.
That is why we think he is Silver....
I don't think there is much point in testing for Sabino as he is obviously Sabino, so all the test would do is tell you if he has Sab1 or not, it's up to you obviously.......
