I believe based on the pattern of the scapulars the first bird is a Swinhoe's or Pintail Snipe.

I agree with Brendan on Swinhoe's/Pintail Snipe. As well as the scapular pattern, the head pattern (broad supercilium, narrow loral stripe and poorly-marked cheek stripe) and overall structure (short bill and dumpy body) fit this rather than Common.

I agree with Brenden and Ajohn. I think it is a Swinhoe's Snipe.
Consequently, I found I mixed them up with a Common Snipe on the same place
and about the same time. Attached is another view for further ID.
With thanks.
