I'm pretty sure it's a Snipe. I hunted them some last year and had a blast. Has to be one of the most challenging birds to hit. Unfortunately, these were on federal ground..so no LC used. A dog can come in handy finding the little buggers after you shoot them. They really blend in well and hard to mark. But, most days I leave her at home. She doesn't enjoy being heeled for hours in the muck...and I hate cleaning the stinky mud off her up when I get back. If you hunted them a bunch, I think a smart pointer would catch on to what you're doing pretty fast.
