South-American Painted Snipe
Nycticryphes semicollaris
Pictures: Teus Luijendijk
Pictures taken at dusk at a pool along a disused road near Mar del Tuyu (S 36° 31.898' W 56° 44.203'). At least six birds were present here, frantically foraging and every now and then chasing off one another. A truly great observation!
