I would say has more to do with deer position and shadowing.

I think its the shadowing, has white in ears around eyes and nose and hocks. Does look to have a darker than average coloration thought too.

Looks like a darker deer to me, considering the shadows on the other two and their light color on the sunny side.

There are no trees remotely close to cast a shadow on her and the shadow on the right doe is cast by my little alafalfa elevated stand thingy.

That deer is also in fall coat and I think the other two are still in summer coat or partially in summer coat.

We should get your cousins take on it
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Could be a bit melanistic but I think its mostly just shadowed.
