Blue Quail I think ? - 12-08-2011, 10:26 PM

Critique: CC:

I had these walk right by the truck today and I have never seen blue quail colored like these were, looking at the head and breast I know its a blue, but looking at the back /tail section they looked like Bobs, I'm sure its just a blue. any one ever seen a cross ? not even sure it could happen?
