Looks to me like a silver - the males still sometimes get that pink colour like the brown males, just more diluted. I could be wrong though, I haven't bred many silvers, just a heap of browns

Will this still mean that he's split to the father ??

not as far as i know. i'm pretty sure the silver is recessive and the normal is a dominant gene, so the father is normal split to silver... maybe lol, not a pro with genetics of quails...
