Thanks that helps a lot I was told that they were cornix quail

They are coturnix quail. The top one is a female Pharaoh (normal brown markings) and the bottom is a Tibetan (dark brown color). You cannot sex the Tibetan by its feathers. You must vent sex or wait to see if it crows or lays an egg.

They are coturnix. "king" quail is a term used mostly for buttons or cbbq, which these are not... I think it's a Australia thing. Good luck with your birds. Bill
