タシギとチュウジシギの識別練習
Sept. 24, 2017
I thought it was a Common Snipe, but on the advice of an expert it turned out to be a Swinhoe's Snipe in first-winter plumage. In the field I did check the tail feathers, but they were in mid-moult, so there was no clinching feature, and I was apparently misled by the overall colouration and the shape of the outer webs of the scapulars.
