Bunch of quail (4)
I believe the answer is:
bevy
'bunch of quail' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for bevy that I've seen before include "Flock of larks; group of beautiful women" , "A large group - of beauties?" , "female company?" , "Many women" , "Group, of beauties perhaps (4)" .)
