Hi all,
I need a little help with some snipes that I managed to capture some 'okay' pics of today at Lat Krabang rice paddies on the outskirts of Bangkok. I'm aware that Common, Pin-tailed, and Swinhoe's are possible, and the latter two are close to inseparable without decent pics of their tails (which I don't have), but was wondering if I could narrow these down (or positively ID them). None of the three birds appear to have a particular long bill that Common Snipes (a species I have previously seen around BKK) usually seem to have, but that may be down to the angle of the bird in the pics.
This is bird #3.
All ID tips and suggestions greatly appreciated,
Ben.
