G. media also has wingbars, which I'm not seeing on this one. I second Common Snipe.

To me looks like both have that white stripe in the middle on the head. I guess I need to study them better.

The Gallinago gallinago has a white spot in the middle on the head which the Media doesn't. I think you can see the white spot at #2...

Hahaha, Today I got her a blue spotting which doesn't get more blue than that so she is fine but she ignores the bird spottings :)
