Gender ID (URGENT)

Looks like all my female coturnix to me. When I Google "king quail" I get something different than the above. Maybe someone had a coturnix egg in a king hatch and it just got missed when hatched. This is going to sound bad but I worked at a pet store. I sold many things. Do you know how many of them were mislabeled and people came back saying they had a whatever and it was actually something else? Happens all the time.

It is tiny, though. Coturnix are substantially larger than King Quail, and the bird in my photographs is smaller than my male.

How old is the male? This bird only looks like its a few weeks old. It could be younger than the one you have and that would account for this one being smaller. I've not seen button quail chicks, but coturnix are about the size of a ping pong ball when hatched.
