Piebaldism, — sometimes called skewbald — is rare in whitetail deer. If it was a horse we’d call it a “paint” horse. Piebald usually refers to black and white coloration and skewbald then is used for white and non-black colorations. So, I would say the proper term to use here is skewbald. However, the pictures came to me describing the deer as “piebald” so I decided to go with that term.

It’s a beautiful deer regardless of the name you give it.
