Out here the quail also have that tell-tale little feather that sticks forward from their head as I've seen them on our back 120. We also have prairie chickens that glean from the ground under our bird feeders. They are smaller than a Bantam hen but quite a bit bigger than the quail. They also have spikey feathers on their heads that stand up when they're peering curiously at something. They really look goofy. I don't suppose this has been much help but I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents!
