Button/King Quail Colour ID help! Golden Pearl???

[Rii]

Hi All,
Im hoping to get some help with identifying what colour morph one of my male Button Quail is. I suspect he’s a golden pearl but I’m not well versed in the morphs and identifying them. Thankfully I have a standard wildtype to compare him too!
A few of his interesting traits are
-white above the beak, which also goes down his chest
- dark/greenish eyes rather than red
- blue extending right up onto his back
-spangled feathers that go right down onto the belly, with reduced red feathers
-white flight feathers
I’ll attach some pics below!

If he is a golden pearl I have many more questions about the genetics of button quail

Thankyou all!

Judging from thing so found on google, he looks kind of like a golden pearl. @Nabiki can probably give you better information.

He's a golden pearl. The white above the beak is a common trait for golden pearls.

How old is he?

Thanks for the confirmation! I thought it may be from the photos I’d seen.
I’m not sure of he’s age, I suspect young though, he’s a bit smaller than my other male and just doesn’t look as mature

I have a bunch of eggs in the incubator and plan to keep some of the females & don’t want to put two golden pearls together

Yea, it looks like he hasn't fully gotten his adult plumage yet based from the pictures so he's probably around 4-5 weeks.

Thankyou for all the info

From my first incubation I got one just like it.
