One of the big appeals of Shetland sheep is that they come in a wide variety of colours. According to the Shetland Sheep Society "there are eleven whole colours with many shades and variants in between". Gulmoget is the name for the colour of this little lamb. "Having light underparts, with a dark coloured body, white inside the ears and under the jaw (the 'Mouflon' pattern, also seen on the Soay sheep)"
Or as I might say "He's just like his Dad."
He is called Duke and Ella is his (white) sister.
