Group of quail (4)
I believe the answer is:
bevy
'group of quail' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bevy that I've seen before include "Group of girls, quail" , "Collective noun for beauties" , "Many women" , "Pack" , "What's sold at number 3 [WATERING HOLE]" .)
