The main difference between the two is that Anseriformes are well suited to a life in the water, and Galliformes are more suited to a life on land. Anseriformes include ducks, geese and swans. They have webbed feet, short legs, dense waterproof plumage and flattened (dorsoventrally) bills. They are well adapted to a life in water. Galliformes include chickens, turkeys, pheasants and quail. They have large, stout legs and are suited to a terrestrial lifestyle (on land). They are not well suited to flying.
The California quail belongs to the pheasant family, Phasianidae, in the order Galliformes, and is classified as Callipepla californica.
They are descended from extinct species, but are megapodes, distantly related to pheasants, and most particularly closley related to cracids. They are in the family of galliformes.

A grouse is a heavy-bodied bird related to chickens and other species in the order Galliformes. Grouse are edible like their chicken relatives.
Not closely. Lyrebirds are Passerines, and peacocks are Galliformes. While the two both have long, decorative tails, they are not related beyond the class Aves.
