Magellanic Snipe (Gallinago magellanica) (aka South American Snipe)
	The Magellanic Snipe is distributed in Central and southern Chile and southern Argentina. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. The taxonomy has been a bit confused and this species was lumped by some authorities with Pantanal Snipe P. paraguaiae as South American Snipe. It has even been considered a sub-species of the Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago to which it bears a lot of similarities.
	These photos were taken at Torres del Paine, Chile.
