Please help me identify this breed of quail

Quail are known by their species name not by breeds.
The species is Coturnix and the color is Italian.
There are not any 'true' Texas A&M quail anymore, they have quit breeding them to the original standard, developed at Texas A&M University.
Mostly now days they will be English Whites...a variation of Coturnix, people who don't know still call them A&M's.
The birds you have are not Texas A&M's
I learn more all the time!
 
Is it mostly males? The only male I'm seeing for sure is the last picture, the others look like hens to me.

It is supposed to be 1 male + 3 females. That is how I bought them and I hope there were no mistakes, because this is meant to be used for reproduction in a near future.

That looks right based on the pictures, but if you want to be sure you can always post individual pics. It's best to get the bird's head and the front of its chest in the shot for feather sexing. I would keep an eye on them as the male might overbreed three hens, but he might not.
