Does anyone know this button quail's genetics???

I was thinking maybe some kind of Darth Vader + Silver???? I know I have both those genes.

Looks like a mix between a tuxedo pied, a silver, and a red breast. Btw sometimes the genes don't quite make sense. One time when I had a flock of only pied and wild coloration, I was collecting eggs for incubation and when they hatched, 3 of them were white,

Thank you! That makes sense.

In your case with the white quail being born the parents probably just had a hidden recessive gene

To me it looks like a cross between a Red breasted and a Tuxedo.

A Red breasted x silver tuxedo or Red breasted x normal tuxedo???

The recessive white is covering up a lot idk what ever it is it counts as pied
