Yes, dark bay horses can appear to fade in sunlight due to the way their coat reflects light. The sun can lighten the appearance of their coat, making them look less dark than they are in indoor or shaded lighting. This effect is temporary and the horse's coat will return to its original color once out of direct sunlight.

Is the mane of a Bay horse black?
Yes. It is possible to have a dark base color and a light mane and tail color for a horse. ADDED 8/7/10 It is possible to have a dark base color and a light mane and tail color for a horse (flaxen gene), but it is NOT possible for a true black horse to have a white mane and tail, or even a brown mane and tail. It can sun bleach a bit, but will darken back up as new hairs grow in. It will never be white, unless coated in snow. The flaxen gene, which is what gives a horse a lighter colored mane and tail, does not affect black pigment, only red.

How do you distinguish a brown horse from a bay horse of similar body?
It depends what you mean by "brown." A bay horse can come in just normal bay or dark bay. As obvious in the name, dark bay is the really dark brown, and bay is lighter, but over all chestnut is the lightest colour of brown. So, without confusing you (more than you probably already are :-P) you can tell the difference by how light the horse is. If the brown is really light then it is clearly a chestnut. If you search on Google Images, "Bay horse", "Dark bay horse" and "chestnut horse" you will be able to see how the different colours vary. But over all, try to remember that really light- Chestnut, Darker- Bay and really dark- Dark bay. Sorry if I confused you but I hope I helped =)
