Common Snipe? (1 Viewer)

I took this photo in Japan earlier this month. While the bill appears to be short, I'm wondering if this could still be a Common Snipe. Unfortunately, this is the only photo I can provide, but I'd appreciate any opinions.

Thank you!

Bill doesn't look short to me. Looks okay for Common Snipe.
Thank you for the reassuring advice.
After posting, I realized that the bill appears short relative to the bird's body because this individual is puffed up, making its head look larger.
