Chinese Painted quails

[Budd1980]

Hi all, I have decided to start breeding birds again after a long break of 30 years. I picked up a pair of Chinese painted quails and the male is a variation I have never seen before and if I have I certainly do not remember it. I have attached a stock pic of it if some one could give me the variations name. I have googled but could only find this pic.

I think they call that color blue breasted.
My Google search comes up with a ton of links to birds like this:

Yeah the Blue-breasted Quail is an other name for chinese painted or button quail (Synoicus chinensis). I am referring to the one in pictures colour variation.

Normal Male

Then this variation

Ok I have been doing some more searching and its a red breasted chinese painted quail which is a recessive gene.
