What bird is this? (1 Viewer)

[Chris_m1]

Hi there,

Yesterday I noticed an approx. 15cm bird with light-brown fluffy feathers walking around our backyard in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Since then, the bird has remained in our garden, venturing at the most a couple of metres from the garden, then returning.

I would be most grateful if anyone here could point me in the direction of what type of bird it is. A photo is attached.

Thank you.

Chris.

Some kind of quail. A domestic Japanese maybe.
