n. long-billed wading bird of Eurasia and North America; shot fired from a distant or concealed position

A Snipe is any of nearly 20 very similar wading bird species in three genera in the family Scolopacidae. They characterised by a very long slender bill and cryptic plumage. The Gallinago snipes have a nearly worldwide distribution, the Lymnocryptes Jack Snipe is restriced to Asia and Europe and the Coenocorypha snipes are restriced to New Zealand. The three species of painted snipe are not closely related to these, and are placed in their own family, the Rostratulidae.
