Is this a Brown Coturnix Chick?

[The Critter Place]

I recently hatched out a handful of Jumbo Brown Coturnix. One seems to really stand out of the crowd with very different markings.
I was wondering if he may be something else. Pictures I looked at in the sticky show one similar to it as a Tibetan.

The face seems to have a diff. color of yellow... and the back of the head seems more rust color. The chest is very diff. and the wings almost seem to have barring in them.

Many things about it seem to just stand out in the crowd. lol. I know the wild pattern Jumbo Brown will have a lot of variations, and I'm new to this, so I'm curious about this little guy.

Here's a picture of It's chest....

And here's one of the Browns..

I'm no expert but it kinda looks like the rosetta I hatched.

Hi Dingo,
Thanks!
Now I know i'm not losing it and it is different.

I keep making hubby go look to make sure i'm not seeing things.

If I need better pics I can try and get some today with my son to help. boy, these little stinkers just don't sit still or work with me when it comes to pic time!

And I noticed they sure made a mess out of the glass!

I was hoping you could tell me!

I can't wait till it grows and feathers!

Guess I'll need some more eggs so it will have a few of it's own kind.

I know now!

When I was umphing a size, I used Pen LC as the breeding pen to do so. I had one hen in there that was a Rosetta and a big one so why not produce more...well some jumbo brown decided to carry the gene along....

The wonders of size increasing...

We need a light bulb came on smiley.

So that I understand...(Bear with me it may take awhile. lol)

So The Rosetta hen gave you a brown roo that passed the gene along, and the egg came from a brown hen?

Gee... I just thought it may have been a free sample. Creative marketing.

I'll be ordering eggs in about 20 days..

Just filled bator with chicken eggs. lol.. 18 days to go.

[The Critter Place]

It worked!

Now I need/want more! LOL! It needs to be with it's own kind.

Thanks so much for the sample! lol..
I'll be back for more.

My son came out of the bird room tonight and says to me....

"Mom, there's a quail in there that is not a Jumbo Brown"

I guess I never told him about the surprise bird.
