I am thinking white-wing pied for sure, however, there still seems to be further distinction. For example, the white pied on the southwest gamebird site is specifically a pharaoh white-wing pied. My bird isn't as dark as a pharaoh, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas.

First, quail don't have breeds.
Species is coturnix, as for colour morph, I would guess some sort of fee, maybe Italian fee?
The pictures I see online of Italians seem to have more of a consistent orange tone. I only see orange around the head area, so I don't think so. The quail is three weeks old, so I shouldn't get much more of a color difference in a week, if at all.

That's why I said Italian fee. The orange is really washed out, which implies the presence of the fee gene. Fee washes the red out.
