 the forehead is short-haired and chestnut, but a frontal tuft, 

 which is typically cholocate or reddish fulvous, is developed 

 later ; lower part of face dark brown ; a brown mane on 

 back of neck ; white suborbital streaks and dark knee-garters 

 are developed, and the hind surfaces of the pasterns are 

 wholly black.
