Anton,

I am not expert but as experts can tell you it is sometimes impossible to distinguish a snipe sp. unless you got it in hand...

I would put my money on fantail juvenile. The tail projects quite a lot beyond the tertials, the bill is rather longer than I would expect on Pintail, and yes, the loral line is rather thick, supporting fantail.

Hope this helps  :)
