There are different types of bay , like dark bay, light bay, silver bay, etc. Actually, brown and bay are similar but different colors. Bay has dark points (black mane, tail, legs, nose and sometimes ears) Brown does not, and may have a copper colored nose. They both have a brown coat though, and are often confused.

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 =)
