Hello,

Pin-tailed Snipe ?

Ankara 10/2020

Hi. I think, maybe a common? The forehead on a pintail would be a lot steeper, not so slanted, as in the pic.....not a 100% sure, though.

I agree it looks better for Common - long bill, prominent loral stripe, dark cheek bar, upperpart pattern and long tail.
Having a location would be really useful in a case like this, so that we know what species are more likely - I'm not even sure what continent this is from!

Has the OP changed the text as a result of your comment, John?

"Ankara 10/2020" I interpret as Turkey in October of that year...

Yes, there was no site or date when I looked earlier, it must have been added (thank you oguenaydin). As well as the features I mentioned, I think Common Snipe is also the most likely species at that location and date.
