There is a breeder I noticed on FB (Genesis Quality Quail) who claims to be developing rare colors of coturnix, termed andalusian and lavender. I have not heard of these colors through any of the other big breeders, and am curious if anyone can identify if these birds are a unique color mutation or if it is a combination of known color genes?

My best guess for the lavender types they have are a lavender + roux dilute combo maybe? I do not know what Andalusian means in this context. I would ask them.

Lavender is not anything particularly rare, and I've had issues keeping them healthy - recessive genes are a PITA. But they're certainly a crowd pleaser.

I think their pied types are far more interesting. And hard to find. Tell them to redo their eBay listings for me if you're on fb. I was actually going to order a set from them a while back and they disappeared! Nothing can tempt me back onto fb, not even rare quail...:lau

Is this the listing you mean? I added some last year and I've been getting some crazy colors in my lines now. Most I can identify, but a few are well nothing I've seen so we're separating them and trying to work out what genetics are actually at work. These are pictures of a favorite from a beautiful clear celadon egg. I've got offspring that are appearing silver laced almost with the white feathering mixed in all over in addition to the Tuxedo. I originally just wanted pretty celadon eggs but then I fell in love with the amazing variety of feather colors and added from several different sources.
