Actually, Charlie says at some point: "We were so busy fighting among ourselves". To me it suggests that they are of the same species, coming from different nations. To further support this, Quill is described geographically, as taking up a southern (?) continent. That's not the first thing that would come to mind in describing a different species. Another quote: "Rodia and Quill is like a planet of 3 billion". Again, no distinction between species, where it is expected.
