When he was born I thought he was a regular bay so he ended up getting his mane and tail dyed for the local fall show. As that winter progresses (last) as I use permant dye there was a greater and greater line of dye in his tail.
So I chalked him up to a silver bay BUT he has no where near the cool flaxen mane and tail color that the other thread on silver bays have.
His mane is much darker than his tail and while his tail isn't black it isn't silver either. His sire is a "regular" bay and his dam is a red roan so possible silver hidding there.
From this past spring, note the lighter tail head with darker ends from the previous years dye job
As a baby pre-dye (notice the dark mane)
Either or doesn't really matter although I would love it if he had the flaxen mane and tails the other thread did.
