Media notes
Remarks: The bill proportions, proportions of the head (sort of squared), the bulging supercilium before the eye, the width of the eye stripe, faint wing band, the absence of white trailing edges (seen in flight), the pattern of the scapulars, the barred median coverts, prominently barred flanks and the tail make this a Pintail Snipe. Thanks to Rahul Rao, Nirav Bhat, Shashank Dalvi, Abhijit Menon-Sen Rajneesh Suvarna, Clement Francis, Dr. Satish Pande, Rahul Sachdev, Paul Van Gasse and Prof.Jacob Höglund for all the insights and a very interesting discussion on snipes. - RK. Equipment: Canon EOS 40D + Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM. Date added to OBI: January 22, 2011.
