Hi, can anyone tell my what gender this button quail is? Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Tuxedos are not feather sexable. You will need to wait until it calls or lays.

I thought you could tell the gender of tuxedo based on how dark the black feathers are?

Umm... Where did you hear that? If you're lucky, you might see some reddish feathers around the vent, which will mean male.

From a online source which said female tuxedo have lighter black feathers and males have darker feathers.

That might work with wild type tuxedos, but this one is definitely not a wild type.

What type is it?

In a coturnix, I would call it a rosetta tux. I'm not sure what that morph is called in buttons.
