Hi all...
... especially all who consider themselves "Birdiologists".
I need help to identify a bird species.
Skin picture on:
The breast feathers look a bit like Montezuma Quail. The wing quill pattern has some similarities too. But on every picture of the bird that I've found, I see a lot of white in the center and around the wing quills... which I don't see on the skin. On pictures of the Texas Quail I've seen, the wing quills look more similar... but instead they don't have these white spotted breast feathers. Is it a mutation?
I HATE having material labeled "???" in my boxes... so if any of you know what bird this is I'd be very grateful for info.
Thanks In Advance,
/Nick
