Chinese painted quail, US Red-breasted brown (cinnamon) female
In the series of brown birds, the palette of shades is really very wide.
This is even difficult for me to understand.
Here is a really dark bird that was born this year 2019.
My personal taste goes for these darker birds as they have more contrast and better marks. Pale brown birds are often fuzzy, especially on the back.

A particularly dark Chinese painted US Red-breasted silver female born in 2019
I regret that the bird had not already completed his moult when I toke those pictures on September 22th, 2019 but in all the cases I will take better snaps in a few weeks.
I photographed this bird because he seemed very dark to me, I mean very blue.
However she doesn’t come from my “Graukopf” bloodlines, I already paired this female with a young US Red-breasted silver type “Graukopf”
I am curious to see how the progeniture will look like!
