In order to get a cremello or perlino, the sire and dam MUST carry at least one copy of the cream gene. Cremello and perlino are double dilutes. Unless the dam is really a "smokey black" the foal is palomino, not cremello.
Plus, cremellos are ALWAYS born with BLUE eyes. Your foals eyes are dark.
Also agree that the baby is palomino. Could still be buckskin, but can't see the mane or tail to check that, pretty sure he is pally tho. And adorable.
Sometimes the light palominos are born almost white. When Casper was born he looked just like a cremello, and I was like what the heck? Obviously momma isn't cream...:rofl:
Of course Casper is a leopard, but because he is a palomino, his base "white" is actually a light palomino cream color...
Your foals dam is bay, carrying no cream genes (bc they can't hide), so he can only be a "single dilute".. Smoky black, Buckskin or Palomino.
