Going Crazy trying to ID- Game Bird?

[texas_is_home]

I need help to ID this bird. I found him/her injured on our loading dock at work. When I first saw it I thought it was a female bob-white quail but, after a closer look I'm just plain stumped as to what species or breed this bird may be. I still think it's a game bird of some sorts. It's a beautiful little bird, I just want to make sure it gets the proper care.

Quail was my first guess..... But I'm not very familiar with any other species.

Sorry, I'm not much help, but if it's a wild bird, try searching "Common Pauraque," (or any nightjar-- whatbird.wbu.com/obj/858/_/Common_Pauraque_Breeding_Male.aspx --) and see if that helps. Maybe a quail too, since the white chin patch is bigger... Can you tell if it's a domestic bird or not? Does it fly well? Or if it's a juvenile, or female, it might not fit the standard description of any game bird species.

Good luck with the ID!

I can't tell if it's domestic or not. It does not fly well and I'm almost positive it's a juvenile. I live in the Rio Grande Valley so, it could be a common pauraque. I appreciate all yalls help!
