Wilson's Snipe, Gallinago delicata
Yesterday I posted about the Common Snipe, Gallinago gallinago, and it was noted that one of its former subspecies from North America had been split off as a full species.
The new species was called Wilson’s Snipe, Gallinago delicata. One of the plumage differences is that the Wilson’s Snipe has more barring under the wing giving it a darker appearance. You can see this in the image above.
