Swinhoe's Snipe
Swinhoe's Snipe

This looks like a Swinhoe's Snipe to me, though I'm not very confident. While I was watching through binoculars, a White-winged Tern flying overhead startled it and it fanned its tail feathers. From what I could see it looked like a Swinhoe's Snipe, but I couldn't get a photo of the tail, so it's not conclusive… (It does seem to be a Swinhoe's Snipe.)
