Gallinago gallinago -- Common Snipe; Agachona común, bécassine des marais. Alternate name on piece: Gallinago scolopacina [Common snipe] Reference painting, very well finished; 3 nestlings, plus detail renderings of an adult bill and leg; at foot of sheet: "Young Common Snipe." Not used directly for the cited plate, indeed the body coloring and length of bills of the nestlings differ noticeably between drawing and published plate. The adult bill, however, corresponds very closely. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Richter, Henry Constantine.
