I guess both species could be feeding there. There are confirmed Bob White in
the area. The 2 birds I saw on Sunday had an all orange face and gray bill and
vertical orange bars on the sides. Its back was browish and not gray. I guess
the two species look pretty similiar.

Even though I figured it was silly and a day late, I headed up to this spot
as I'd never seen a grey partridge. So was surprised when I pulled up near
the manure spread and there was a partridge sized bird in the middle of it.
I looked at it with my binoculars and wondered why it was called a gray
partridge and it wasn't gray. Turned out it was a Northern Bob White!
Hadn't seen one of those before either so worked out well all the same.
