Picking up mature quail.

You are correct about them being the same bird. Any idea on color?
I'm only really familiar with the Pharoah/Wild color and I think the three darker brown birds are Pharoah including the male in picture 336. The lighter brown bird was identified by @Nabiki as Egyptian, but I can't figure out which pictures are of that bird in your second post. I'll have to defer to the others on the light colored birds.

These two are males. All the rest are females, from what i see in the pictures. coturnixes male have a ginger brown chest, while females have whitish gray chests.
Males will also, (more commonly) have gray beaks, while females have pronounced pink noses and white/gray beaks.

Another great sign is egg layers, and crowing
Egg layers are females,
and crowers are males.
