They are archetypes, not any specific species. It’s part of the charm of Parker engraving throughout most engraving periods.

Gambel's Quail or Mountain Quail. The top knot on a Mountain Quail is straight where a Gambel's Quail topknot is curved forward, so this is probably a rendering of a Mountain Quail.
