[cobirds] Scaled Quail in the San Luis valley

The appearance of the Bobwhite near Denver raises similarities to a Scaled Quail being seen between Alamosa and Blanca. The gal who reported it, with pics, said it was seen near her penned chickens. 

Scaled Quail would be rare for the San Luis Valley. They occur just south of San Luis into New Mexico so when one occurred near our stateline in that area, I though it could be legit. 
This second one is farther north and the idea of it being attracted, for whatever reasons, near caged birds, makes it suspect. I am in a bit of a quandary about this latest one.
