What colour mutation is my quail?

I recently bought a new male coturnix quail to add to my breeding pool and I have no idea what his colour mutation is called. I can provide more photos but he is pretty much just speckly all over with a few white patches.

i believe that is consiered rosetta with recessive white. you can breed him to whites to make nice tux's.

Thanks for the identification of him for me. Shame that where I live, I have yet to see any pure white quail, he was the most abnormal appearing one I've ever seen locally, but if I spot some whites I'll defs give it a go.

 

Most of mine are the colour of the one that is just in the corner of the photo and the natural variation.  Will just have to see what I get from mix and matching.
