Chestnut and Dark Chestnut

The Dark Chestnut must be considered putative at the moment though it looks good to these untrained eyes. So ... this is a lesson on the variability of Chestnuts! It looks very much like these will be both Chestnuts as the shape of the rear end in particular is not consistent with Dark Chestnut. I also read somewhere that they aren't generally seen after Christmas, which is a point worth noting (if true!)
