Nice photos, especially the bird in flight.

This is either Pintail or Swinhoe's Snipe - the two are very difficult indeed to separate in the field.

My hunch is this is probably Pintail, which I feel can look browner and more uniform than the latter.

Thanks Geoff, hope to see the latter in the field some day~
