Gallinago stenura
Small bird it blended in with the dead bamboo leaves on the ground and flew away if you got too close.
In a wet area of a garden lawn, near a sprinkler and under a bamboo thicket in the fallen leaves.
It seemed to prefer to stay near the damp areas the sprinklers had created. If frightened away it would return to the same position over and over again.
