What color are my button quail?

[NewfoundMamaBird]

Is this silver or slate or something else?

Looks like my slate female but lighter in color by a bit.

The Slate/silver one is a male. It’s hard to see because of the silver but it has reddish colored vent feathers. The black one is definitely a female, she’s been laying an egg every day. Out of the 8 I hatched 6 ended up being boys lol
