Pin-tailed Snipe Gallinago stenura
An extremely rare visitor to Europe which has so far not been recorded in the UK, though it must only be a matter of time before one is identified. If separation from Common Snipe is a challenge, separation from Swinhoe's Snipe is even harder (Swinhoe's could conceivably occur as a vagrant too).
