My "Sibley Field Guide To Birds" (2003) refers only to Wilson's snipe,
gallinago delicata, while my larger, "The Sibley Guide To Birds", has no
mention of Wilson's, but only  a common snipe, gallinago gallinago, and also
a Eurasian species.  The illustrations for Wilson's and common snipe seem to
be identical. Was there a name change at some point or can anyone comment on
the foregoing?
