Scolopax saturata (Javan Woodcock)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Javan woodcock or rufous woodcock (Scolopax saturata) is a small wader. It is smaller than Eurasian woodcock, and has much darker plumage. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the New Guinea woodcock and called collectively the dusky woodcock. This species is restricted to wet mountain forests on Sumatra and western Java. It nests on a bed of moss in light undergrowth. It has a "roding" display flight like Eurasian woodcock, but the calls are different. It can be very tame.
