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
 
Yes it was one of my chicks I hatched. It's one of my favorites!
Lovely i was hoping for somthing like that with this baby that hatched Friday since its mom is a wild normal blue and the dad is a red breasted with white leaking in like i showed, but this lil one popped out, cant be pure white too dirty a blonde i think
