Opinions please: What color will this kitten become?

Do you think this cat will be black? This is not a pointed cat. Siamese and pointed cats are born solid white. They do not look like this.

Yes, it will be black. This looks like a fevercoated kitten. They can be born this way when mom has had an (often undetected) infection/fever whilst pregnant. After a few weeks/months a kitten like this will get a normal color.

Could be a black cat with fever coat.
