I was trying to figure out what color quail we have if any one wants to give any input! *edited to add description of their coloring since my camera wasn't showing the colors the best.
Here's my guesses:
#1 red & black with yellow eyebrows- Tibetan
#2 lavender & white-?
#3 solid gray- Lavender
#4 chestnut brown & white (some of the lighter areas look gray)- at first I thought pearl fee but her stripes are a chestnut brown not black so does she have the roux gene as well? What would that make her? Amber fee?
#5 black & white with hints of brown- Falb fee
Thanks in advance for any help!

i think 4 is a wild type jumbo
 
Here's an update of how they're feathering out at 3.5 weeks old. Now I'm really not sure what their color types are🙃 Excluding the Tibetan, they're all more on the greyscale- not much brown on them, except the accents of fawn or chestnut brown. I was trying to compare them to the examples on Myshire Farm & Maines Confetti Quail Farm's websites hoping to figure out their colors.

#1- Tibetan

#2- Schofield Silver Collection? (almost looks like example on Myshire website) OR Fawn Andalusian OR Blue dilute wild type? (almost looks like examples on Maines confetti website) OR oz sandy dilute? Honestly I have no clue with this one lol

#3- Lavender or andalusian?

#4- Oz sandy dilute wild type?

#5- Heterozygous Falb fee? (Looks like the male falb fee on Myshires website. Has some brown on body but is not nearly as brown as a normal Pharoah- on its wings its more gray than brown. I was guessing hetero falb fee because the fee diluter gene removes brown pigment but in heterozygous form some brown still remains)

Any thoughts?
