extreme wild bay, or liver chestnut?

when she was a yearling I thought she was a bay. Now i'm second guessing myself.

The black nose gives her away. Chestnuts will have a red nose (with black skin), but this horse does have black hair on it's nose. So bay. But it could be a wild bay versus a bay. Those black legs are rather low, but still on the line. Wild bay overrules regular bay, so the wild bay would need to be seen throughout the pedigree in a nominally unbroken line (with exception of chestnuts). And I do see there appears to be the chance of that.

And don't forget the snowflakes! Nicely grouped. As an FYI, that will change her coat fro varnish.
