The red-breasted or gray snipe (Macrorhamphus griseus); -- called also brownback, and grayback.

shorebird of the sandpiper family that resembles a snipe

The three dowitchers are medium-sized long-billed wading birds. They resemble godwits in body and bill shape, and the reddish underparts in summer, but are much shorter legged, more like snipe to which they are also somewhat closer related (Thomas et al., 2004). All three are strongly migratory.
