Please help identify the species/mutation of these quails

[CSKA]

Dear all,

I bought 8 young quails today. They were bought to a simple guy who has them in his backyard. He doesn't claim to be an expert and could not provide me a lot of info. The only thing he could advance is that these are most likely native european (note: we are in Europe) with possibly some wild traits and there could be some cross breeding in their history - he doesn't know for sure.

All I know is that half look dark with brown tones and the other half look dark gray (with no color tone). Are these 2 different mutations between the dark browns and grays?

What do you call these if 2 separate breeds/mutation/whatever?

The browns are pharoah or wild type while the gray are falb fee. They are all coturnix

Congrats! You’re now the proud owner of Coturnix quail. Raising them becomes an obsession, fair warning!
