Japanese quail are variable, but similar shape and size to Stubble Quail. This bird is much taller and by the bricks behind it, much bigger. .

That is a good one. I suggest a female of some species of pheasant. Females are harder to distinguish than males. Though I don't know which. There are many possible species but would need to know which are kept in Australia (locally). Could
be difficult as maybe it is a hybrid female pheasant. Would be best to ask around the neighbourhood to find where it escaped from.

A friend from Weston Creek had the attached bird in her garden for 3 days last week.
Interested in your thoughts on its ID. Pictures have been cropped from phone photos.
Thanks
