HELP! Hatching quail egg bleeding in incubator.

So I'm completely new to incubating eggs. So I started with coturnix quails since they're easier compared to the rest.

So ,as shown in the picture, the egg is bleeding probably from the inside and there is something sticking out. It could be a paw or the mouth.
And today is the 20th day in the incubator.

So I really need advice, I did open the incubator when I saw the blood and I did touch it a bit which wasn't smart. But I need to know what it could be and what my next move should be.

So I don't really know anything about hatching quail, and I can't really tell much by the picture.
If it pipped before absorbing all the blood it could have pipped through a vein and that could be where the blood is coming from.
Is the baby peeping and wiggling? if so it's probably okay to just leave it and let it continue hatching when its ready.
Maybe someone with more experience will come on and be of more help than me.

Thanks, I did hear a peep, not sure which egg it is. Hope it will be fine.
 
Update: So the egg didn't hatch, only one did luckily nice and healthy. But I opened the bloody egg to see what happened and apparently the chick did develop but drowned in blood, still unsure where the blood came from. But thanks for the help. So next time I'd rather try putting the egg in the brooder if something like this happens again so the blood can spread and so I can keep watch and maybe even help it. But that's if it happens again next time.

I've just had the same thing happen to me. And mine are pipping and not unzipping.
 
Anyone pls reply, I'm so worried!
I found a website called troubleshooting the hatch. It was so helpful. I'm on my phone it will take a minute for me to come back with the link. This is awful I can hear mine chirping and all and they're all stuck in the eggs.
