The American species are in their own family Odontophoridae, whereas the Old World birds are in the pheasant family Phasianidae.
This group is related to other members of the gamebird family thus.

 ADW: Galliformes: Information
Five groups within Galliformes are variously recognized: Megapodiidae (7 genera, 19 to 22 species), Cracidae (11 genera, 50 species), Numididae (4 genera, 6 species), Odontophoridae (9 genera, 32 species) and Phasianidae (49 genera, 180 species).
Two proposed hypotheses suggest that either Megapodiidae is sister to Cracidae or that Megapodiidae is sister to the group comprising Cracidae and Phasianidae.
Relationships within Megapodiidae, Cracidae and Phasianidae remain unresolved and different analyses have split Phasianidae into a number of distinct groups.

 Biogeography of California quail (Callipepla californica)
California quail are part of a group of quail found only in the Americas called the New World quails.
However, from DNA hybridization evidence it became surprisingly clear that New World quail are not closely related to Old World quail, turkeys or grouse (Sibley 1990).
Sibley (1990) concluded that the Odontophoridae must be the descendants of an early divergence about 63 million years ago in South America during its isolation from North America.
