Swinhoe vs Pin-tailed Snipe (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Hope to get some help with a few difficult snipes.
2 different individuals seen in western Mongolia, the one close to landing is spreading the tail a lot so might have something useful there. I feel like it's a swinhoe's, but can a pin-tail be ruled out? Just not the sharpest photo. Is it possible to identify them looking at these photos?

Best

Anton
