Possible Tumor on Bobwhite Quail Foot

[AdL]

Hey There All!

I am a newbie to game birds, and received three adult Bobwhite males a few days ago. I just noticed a dark, what appears to be tumor, on one of their feet. I captured him, examined him, and soaked his foot in hydrogen pyroxide, but I have to say that it looks like a malignant tumor to me. He is eating, drinking, walking, acting healthy, and his feces is normal. The foot does not seem to hurt, but I did see him examining that foot a few times. Obviously, it's late Saturday night, so I cannot take him to anyone until Monday. Not even sure if we have game bird avian vets here, but nothing to do until the week begins. In the mean time, I am attaching a photo (hopefully), and would really appreciate information from anyone who might recognize what this is, or tell me if there is anything I can do for him. Thanks so much for your help!

The picture is to dark to really see the problem. Is there anything on or in the bottom of the foot? It could be an infection where you may have to lance and drain it. If it's bumble foot it will be easy to clean out but you have to check on the bottom of it's foot to see. I wish I could be better help.
