California Quail The California quail is sometimes called the California partridge, Catalina quail, or valley quail. The plumage on its head gives it the names helmet quail and top-knot quail. The California quail is a small (9½ -11 inches long), plump chicken like bird with a short black plume sprouting forward from the top of its head. California quails are gray with a dark brown head. The upper parts of the body are gray to brown-gray. The breast is blue-gray, the belly finely scaled, and the male California quail usually weigh about 6 1/4 ounces on average, females slightly less.
