It looks like it isn't actually a stroke, but rather it is it's own shape (you can see on the left that it shows filled with black)

What you would need to do, is merge it with the shape. Use the shape builder to join it.

Select all, then just drag areas to merge.





You can now fill with any color you want.

There are many places where you can choose colors, my two favorite are Swatches (Window → Swatches) and Color (Window → Color or just hit F6)
