The male California quail and the Gambel's quail look very similar, the differences being that the California quail has the scaled black and white belly with a chestnut belly patch and the Gambel quail has more of a buff belly. The California quail, as its name suggests, is mostly found in California and up and down its coastline to the Baja peninsula and Washington; however, there is a small group of them in Arizona, too, near the drainage of the Little Colorado River!
