California v. Gambel's Quail

As far as visuals, if I've been told correctly, Gambel's quail have a more rusty brown color on the top of their heads, opposed to the California quail having a dark chocolate brown.
Range is good to look at when separating the two. Two parts I look at on the bird are the forehead and the belly. Gambel's has a black forehead and plain belly, California has more of a tan forehead with a scaled pattern on the belly
