No, not even close. Ducks are waterfowl for starters belonging to the Anatidae family, while quail belong to a completely different group that is sub divided into 2 different families based on Old world or New World- Phasianidae or Odontophoridae . Ducks are deffinatley larger, but some smaller breeds do exist. Quail, for the most part are very small "bush-living" birds that often will fit into the hand of an adult male, though there are some larger breeds.

Stone partridge from Africa are smaller than a California quail, Grey/Hungarian partridge are actually pheasants, N American quail are nothing like as related to AAsian quail as are African Francolin. As with so many birds, common names are very useful but meaningless in terms of what the bird is in evolutionary/systematic terms.
