I think he is an Umbrous golden. The part you are thinking of as yellow patches is the part of the head when the fur is shortest and the umbrous does not show on that making the golden show though as paler orangey patches. As far as breeding him he is a banded so you would need to avoid breeding him to a female patterned animal in case there was a risk of both having the white belly gene. Colour wise it wold very much depend which if any recessives he carried. If you have a pedigree you should be able to work out what he has.
I was thinking banded umbrous golden as well! Thank you!
