They are Coturnix Quail.

Some people call them Rossetta Quail or Tuxedo Pharaoh Quails but in reality they are just a different coloration of the Coturnix Quail.

 

I hope this helps.

Rosettas and Tuxedos are completely different from each other. But yes, they are just mutations of the pharaoh Coturnix Quail.
