Hello, trying to learn more about what type of quail I have! I can't seem to find some of my colours anywhere else so would be grateful for some help!
I have some reddish/ginger quail and have no idea what they are called!

I'll add a pic of all my colour varieties and any help with ID would be great!

Thanks in advance
 
Ok, here are the best shots I've got...... I haven't mastered photographing quail yet, the buggers don't hold still at all lol

Wild type silver male(my personal fave out of all my silvers, he is just sooo purdy and so sweet!

English White- homozygous for recessive white. Most have black or brown spotting (NOTE a gene or dominant white has been reported and that the homozygous birds are of low viability).

Texas A and M/Jumbo White- selectively bred from English white and Jumbo Pharaohs to produce large birds for the meat industry.
