South American or Magellanic Snipe
Gallinago [paraguaiae or magellanica] (= Gallinago paraguaiae) (Vieillot, LJP 1816)
The Pantanal snipe is a small, stocky wader. Its taxonomic position is complicated, sometimes treated as a race of common snipe. The Andean population is now usually considered a distinct species, known as the puna snipe. Source: Wikipedia
