Pintail/Swinhoe's Snipe or Common Snipe?

Pintail/Swinhoe's Snipe or Common Snipe?

Thanks very much

Think it's Swinhoe's/Pintail/Lantham's Snipe based on the rather thin dark eyeline between the bill and the eye. This tends to be thicker in Common Snipe.

The contrast between the buff supercilium and the white below the eye indicates this is Common Snipe.
