Key differences

Larger and heavier than Common Snipe. Has a shorter bill, a more upright posture, and a more heavily barred belly. The outer tail feathers are white, lacking the rufous of the Common Snipe. Its flight is heavier and less erratic, and it lacks the 'drumming' display flight, instead performing a communal lek display on the ground.

Key differences

Significantly smaller than Common Snipe. Has a shorter bill, a more rounded head, and lacks the prominent median crown stripe and 'tramlines' on the back. Its flight is slower and lower, often dropping quickly into cover. It is typically silent when flushed and has a distinctive 'bobbing' motion when walking.

Key differences

Formerly considered a subspecies of Common Snipe (G. g. delicata), now recognized as a distinct species in North America. Very similar in appearance and behavior to Common Snipe, but generally has 16 tail feathers (vs. 14 in Common Snipe) and slightly different vocalizations and drumming sounds. Field identification is extremely challenging without close examination or specific vocal cues.
