Swinhoe's Snipe

From the pattern of the tail feathers being preened, this looks like a Latham's Snipe, but apparently there are Common Snipe on Okinawa whose tail feathers resemble those of Latham's Snipe… ^^; And Latham's Snipe is said to be quite scarce on Okinawa Island, so perhaps it is a Common Snipe.
