I used to have a buck colored almost exactly the same, he was registered as "two-tone chamoise". He didn't have the white face like those.

Cou Clair is used for goats with black hindquarters, according to ADGA. If the animal is tan with black trim but not a black "blanket" over the hind, it's a chamoisee.

I can't tell how far down the black goes on Maple, if she's got a good deal of black on the back, she's broken Cou Clair, if it's just the dorsal stripe, she's a broken Chamoisee.
