I would venture a guess but it is easier if we can see the parents, can you post a pic of them as well?

Im not too sure about the baby, fawned pied would be my best guess

As for the parents:

Yip, you're not far off according to me.

I think they are orange breasted fawns, with maybe a little pied coloration if any. The normal fawn does not have the orange breast band but a black one.
