Predated bird leg ID (1 Viewer)

[TWM]

This leg was found in NE Scotland under a tree where a Barn Owl regularly hangs out.
I would guess that the bird was predated at night and I am thinking that it is probably a Snipe (or Jack Snipe)
The middle toe is 2.75cm long.

Trawling through photos on the internet it is most likely to be from a Jack Snipe.

Would be interesting to know why it's more more jack snipe than snipe?

The outer toes on Common Snipe appear to be longer (nearly the same length as the middle toe)
and the hind toe is longer on Common Snipe. Also Common Snipe leg has a yellowish tinge.
