主題的捕捉、構圖和整個畫面的色調都非常妙絕。

I don't think this is a Common (Fantail) Snipe. The tail is too short, and the mantle is not dark enough nor the fringes to the scapulars broad enough.

It is either a Pintail or Swinhoe's Snipe, but it is not possible to tell from photographs such as this.

Would it be possible to verdict it as Swinhoe's, considering the tail, which projected beyond the longest primary?

No, the tail projects beyond the primaries on both Swinhoe's and Pintail Snipe.

Common Snipe? ???

Yes, this is a Common Snipe; the very long bill, long tail, the blackish mantle and the very broad pale edges to the scapulars eliminate Swinhoe's/Pintail Snipe.
