Genetic Practice Competition is back! This month's contest foal, generously donated @HunterUnderSaddleGirl

GeneticCompetitionFoal

It's been a while since we've run one of these. Please give both the color name and the genetic makeup of the color.
I'm trying something new with the scoring this time, so this round will be a bit of an experiment.
Scoring:
+1 point for each correct word in the color name
-1 point for each incorrect word in the color name
+0 points for missing word in the color name
+1 for having all words given in the correct order

+2 point for each correct allele in the correct place
-1 point for each incorrect allele
+1 point for a gene that produces the correct genotype, even if the alleles are in the wrong order. (For example, if the foal is zZ, guessing both zZ, Zz and ZZ would result in a +1, but guessing zz would not. This is separate from the prize/penalty for correctly determining the alleles.)
+2 for having all genes listed in answer in the correct order

For those of you who have never played before... Use any methods you wish (suggestions include looking at parents and making punnet squares, then confirming most likely with phenotype of the foal, using search function to look for similar phenotypes, drawing alleles from a hat, flipping a coin...) to determine the foals genotype (scientific color with alleles). Order of alleles does count hint: sire's allele is first, dam's second.

Prizes! Winner gets the foal above and A Lil More Musical (https://hj2.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=4642392), a Gold-papered, 11.8 PT score offspring of my bootstrap stud A Lil More Baileys, and who also has Bird Star in her lines on her damside. She had passed BA (may not pass SBA), and would make either a nice addition to a breeding program or to a show barn. UPDATE: Also thanks to @HunterUnderSaddleGirl, there is now a pool for hbs prizes. Everyone who enters will get a prize, and the winner will get a bonus amount.

Let's run this one through the 14th of August, with winners being announced sometime on the 15th or the 16th.
