Hello,
This is our first time raising quail. We've got 6 Bob Whites, 5 of which look like the 2 on the right. And the big light one on the left we suspect to be a Male... thoughts?

Have no idea kind on left. I know there are many different species of bobwhites but got me. Experts will answer soon enough.
Here is picture of my bobwhites.

The 2 on the right are male. The bird on the left appears to be a gray partridge. It's moving in the pic and is blurry. Can you get some more pics of the bird in question? Side, front and back would be great.
Here's some pics of mature male and female and some juveniles.

Yeah. I can tell by this picture. You'll want to separate it from your quail and get some more from her or give it back to her if you don't want it.
They don't get along together well....it will be a blood bath in a few weeks as it matures.
