A bobwhite is a bobwhite is a bobwhite when it comes to will they breed with each other. As far as those color phases go, pretty sure the first generation you'll get all or mostly mexican speckled then the second gen you may start getting snowflakes. IIRC the snowflake mutation is recessive so it needs to be present twice to for a bird to be that color.

The snowflakes were a mutation off the Mexican Speckled, in the first place.

The Snowflake were a “sport” off of the Mexican Speckled, to begin with.
