Yes Bobwhite
Full common name is Northern Bobwhite. (There are species such as Black-throated Bobwhite and Crested Bobwhite.) Yours is a male.

Should
I keep this or delete it because of the poor quality and most of the bird is hidden?

I'd Say Yes: Plumage Variation
I'd say let's keep it at least until another image comes in. There's considerable plumage variation in the species, including on the head. Your submission is an example of the Florida look.

Moved
I moved it to the Bobwhites and also tagged it male. I agree we should keep it until the catalog builds up.
