A bird of the family Scolopacidae, order Charadriiformes. Total length about 15 cm. One of the small snipes abundant in Japan. It breeds in the tundra of northeastern Siberia and western Alaska, and migrates to South Asia, Australia, and New Zealand in winter. It migrates to Japan in spring and autumn as a migratory bird. Along with the White-tailed Sandpiper, it is one of the smallest species of snipes that migrate to Japan, and its name comes from the fact that it is a bird born in the same year. In summer plumage, the base of the beak is white, and the head, face, neck, and chest are reddish brown, with dark vertical stripes on the head, neck, and chest.
