		In Leader (1999), the author illustrates numerous variations in gallinago from Hong Kong that were mentioned by Bland (1998 and 1999) as being, to various degrees, features of delicata.
		In that article there are photos of two gallinago that have considerably more dark barring on the underwing coverts than "normal", such that there is merely a small white line in the lesser coverts and in the center of covert area (the tips to the median coverts).
		I believe that fairly large numbers of gallinago are seem most years on the western Alaskan islands, and that they may breed there.

	Great Snipe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The Great Snipe Gallinago media is decidedly larger than the Snipe Gallinago gallinago.
		The display area is in the wetter part of the marshy area, but, in contrast to the Snipe Gallinago gailinago, the Great Snipe prefers drier ground for its nest and this tends to be fairly well concealed by dense herbs and willows (see Brit.
		When he has completed all the different postures and sounds, he closes his tail and, within a few seconds, is quite relaxed for a moment or for some while before this chain of display actions begins again.

	ON AERIAL AND GROUND DISPLAYS OF THE WORLD'S SNIPES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Authors seem to agree that in C. gallinago vibration of the outer tail feathers--whether these are narrowed or not---is responsible for the hoot- ing.
		Admittedly it is difficult to see why, if the process of evolution eventuates in two races of C. gallinago in continental Africa, it should not also eventuate in a third one in Madagascar; but macrodactyla is not only proportionately longer-billed and longer-legged than gallinago, it is different in behavior.
		The "nuptial flight song" of the Madagascar Snipe, as heard on 9 Sep- tember 1930, at Doany, Madagascar, by Rand (1934), was "similar to that of Capella delicata [Capella gallinago delicata of this paper]"--a com- ment that seems to argue for calling macrodactyla a race of gallinago.

	Theses from Uppsala University : 4585 - Immunoecology of the Great Snipe (Gallinago media)
		In this thesis I have investigated individual variation in MHC class II genes and antibody producing ability in relation to ecology and behaviour in the great snipe (Gallinago media), a lekking bird, breeding in northern Europe.
		There was much variation in the MHC genes of the great snipe and the sequence data show that balancing selection has been acting on these genes.

	BirdForum - Wilson's Snipe
		The (main) Sibley Guide refers to Common Snipe-Gallinago gallinago and refers to some minor differences between American and Eurasian birds.
		You can imagine the confusion this created yesterday at Sanibel Island,where all these books were being consulted and several birders were unsure what to tick.
		The Sibley-Monroe (2003) as yet has not followed suit and it still figures as Gallinago gallinago delicata.

	AOU Checklist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Because of differences in the winnowing display sounds and morphology (Thonen 1969, Miller 1996), Gallinago delicata (Wilson’s Snipe) is recognized as a species distinct from the Old World G.
		gallinago because of overall morphological similarities (Oberholser 1921), but now separated on the basis of differences in winnowing display sounds associated with differences in the outer tail feathers (Thonen 1969, Tuck 1972, Miller 1996) that are comparable to differences between other closely related species in the genus.
		Modify the account of Gallinago gallinago by removing references to the delicata group.

	B-Mail(sm): ID-FRONTIERS for October 28-31, 2001
		I think I have more somewhere in a cd but in the meantime, for those interested, I once put three c.800x600 pixels sized of them online that might be of some interest for this discussion.
		Here are some more links to gallinago: http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~bird/bird/photo/jpeg/tashigi.jpg and http://homepage1.nifty.com/gallinago/gallinago-gallery.html - an incredible resource for snipe images!
		I have also added a page (prepared a year ago but never loaded previously) about the gallinago-like specimen in the Texas collection: http://www.martinreid.com/snipex.html I am looking forward to more URLs - especially ones of birds in flight.

	Gallinago delicata Snipe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Note especially the strong brown wash on the flank barring, the very narrow fl bars in the tertials, and the rich buff edges to the scapulars - these are are supposed to be good indicators for Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago:
		In the image above, note the central chest (in the buff area) is barred, not streaked; this is supposed to be a good feature for gallinago, while delicata should have fairly obvious vertical streaking.
		In the images below, the left flanks are shown to be strongly buffy/brown, and the left tertials have thicker pale bars than dark bars:
