This Gambel's Quail was found and photographed by Doug Jenness on 18 August 2018

Partially white male with a white topknot and some white in head feathers and coverts.

Conditions causing abnormal white feathers, such as leucism, other genetic factors, and progressive graying, are relatively uncommon in quail.
