This is our first HG hatch, and the colors are all over the place. They just hit 2 weeks and I know it's too early to feather sex (although I'm pretty sure the pearls are 1 roo and 1 hen). What would the other colors be called? I know the one with the white chest is a tuxedo but I'm stumped on the rest.

Pearl? Suspected roo

Some sort of tuxedo? She was very angry in the second photo.

I call this one brows.

Judging by the head I thought these 2 were plain old brown coturnix but the feathers aren't actually brown.

And then these 2 salt and peppery floofs.

Any guesses would be appreciated!!

Brows and salt/peppery floofs appear grau fee and 2 browns appear to be pharaoh or wild type……tux appears to be white-wing pharoah
 
The browns could be a myshire-derived sparkly which is cross of pansy and pharaoh (if that’s the origin of your breeding stock or possible colors of your breeders)
Some of our hens came from the myshire "rare colors" egg mix so that's probably it. Thank you!!
