My kid called this one Dal, here she is as a hatchling (she’s the loud mouth in the back)

When she started growing feathers:

3 weeks, next to an Egyptian and Tibetan (disregard their tomato!) a different breeder suggested she was a Pearl at this point.

And now at almost 6 weeks 🤯🤩 her breeder thought that she was maybe a Snowie (so she must have the genetics for those)

She’s got the same splotchy feather patters as the falb fee, but her dark splotches are both grey, and a light beige— you can see in the center of her back she’s more beige/cream where her tail and around her neck is more blue/cream— is this calico? Andalusian? In unclear on how these each behave on already diluted birds.

The closest photo I’ve ever seen was on this forum from 6ish years ago calling him a “le creme” 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who’s got lots of interbreeding dilutes? What can you tell me about what I’m looking at here? Please and thank you!

Are these coturnix quail?
I raised 18 of them and I had some
all white ones, traditional color, and golden Italians which looked exactly like her.

They are Coturnix, though the Italians and pearls I’ve seen all have black markings, and this girls feather markings are buff and blue she has no dark coloration anywhere and her under fluff is all blue

Here’s maybe a better example? All her feathers have the same pattern, but some random patches along her back have buff on white, where most of them have some shade of silver on white, her chest has some silver speckles, butnis overall more of that buff/white coloration. Her primary feathers are solid white.
