piebald
This term is primarily used in equestrian and veterinary contexts to describe a specific coat pattern. While it can technically apply to any animal with irregular patches of two colors, it is most frequently associated with horses. It carries a descriptive, neutral tone and is more precise than general terms like spotted or patched.
When used as a noun, the word refers to the animal itself. In professional breeding or showing, it is often contrasted with "skewbald," which specifically refers to white and any color other than black (such as chestnut or bay).
