What colour is my quail?

[Soph_quail]

Hello, I’ve posted about this previously when the quail was only a day old and somebody said it may be a Rosetta quail. I was wondering if anybody could confirm or had a better idea now that the chick is a week old? For the most part she’s growing in silver/white ish feathers however also has a black strip right down the middle of her back. I’m wondering if maybe she’s just a rare tuxedo? However I have no idea. We have some Italian chicks and her feathers look much more silver than white in comparison. Thanks!

Maybe Egyptian colored? when they're an adult it'll be easier to tell color!

Okay so this chick is now over 2 weeks old and the rest have their adult coloured feathers in so I’m assuming this is a similar colour to what they’ll be as an adult. Does anybody know what this is called? Or how to sex it by colour? Any advice would be great!

If I were to guess, it’s an Egyptian but has silver lineage. I am no expert tho.

I had one who looked similar:

I agree with FloorCandy! I don't see any chest markings so it may be a boy :'(

I have one very similar and I think she is a Schofield Silver (or some silver) pharoah/normal/wildtype. That's from my semi-beginner eyes.
