It is pretty common to see male red ears with dark coloration. However usually its not as noticable until adult years. They are known as melanistic males. Are you able to post a pic? If you look back in this forum you will see a few other melanstic examples as this is commonly asked.

Hope thats sheds some light

Brandon
