Actually, he is not a bay dun. He is a Buckskin Dun or Dunskin

No, he's definitely Bay Dun

He's just a really heavily diluted one. The red-ish outline + dorsal is a dead giveaway that he's Bay Dun and not Buckskin Dun

A buckskin would look more like this,



while a Buckskin Dun / Dunskin looks more like the excellent example Tjigra posted
