What Kind of Behaviour is This?

Pretty sure she's just grumpy that you stopped petting her and would like you to continue, hence why she's running back to your hand. I'd agree she's probably top hen in the cage and used to getting her way. I suspect the wryneck is simply messing with her balance/depth perception and pecking is just how quail interact with the world since they don't have hands.

She is probably the ‘big mamma’ in other words, she’s at the top of the pecking order.

I could probably see that tbh haha
