New to quail, help with colors and sexing.

Appears as though we were all correct in our guesses..

Recently, I hatched another set of eggs that I purchased from a farm when I was out for a drive. I saw a sign that said quail eggs for sale..I asked if he had hatching eggs..he said that he usually doesn't sell them because it might cut into his business.. but I raise them as pets, as I raised birds when I was younger and I can't get it out of my system..lol

I don't know what color or sex this one is, but I am super excited to find out.

The wing feathers look grey or silver, tinged with white..any thoughts on what color this is going to be?
It looks like silver, maybe with roux. The white is from having some pied. When the white is on the wing like that, they usually call it the white primaries gene.
 
It is super early.. but I see a grey pattern in the breast feathers..
