Okay so I’m semi-new to Coturnix. This is only my 2nd year. Always had a ton of wilds/pharaohs with a mix of Rosetta’s, German pastels, and English whites, etc

However, I picked up these celadon males from someone who just wanted rid of them.

I suck at picking up on some of differences to tell if I have an Egyptian male or just a really light colored pharaoh, or hell is it Italian?!

Also I have two that one I’m sure just silver but is the other falb fee?

Sorry for the stupid question that’s been asked a hundred times here but I’m just feeling dumb and can’t tell what I got here. IMG_4663.jpeg Egyptian looking male IMG_4665.jpeg silver? IMG_4675.png silver & falb fee, right? (And obviously the pharaoh) IMG_4673.jpeg Egyptian and silver? IMG_4662.jpeg egyptian or Italian? IMG_4663.jpeg

I'm not sure about the silver - both your greyish birds appear to be fee to me. I'm not sure if this is the case in general, but the pictures of silver birds I've seen typically have few or no markings. The other bird is definitely not Italian/Manchurian as he's not light enough/his head isn't right for a male, but it does look like it could be Egyptian?
