Wood snipe (Dẽ giun lớn, Rẽ giun lớn, Gallinago nemoricola)
The wood snipe (Gallinago nemoricola) is a species of snipe which breeds in the Himalayas of northern India, Nepal, Bhutan and southern China.
In winter, it occurs at lower altitudes in the Himalayas, as a regular visitor in small numbers to north Vietnam.
The term Charadriiformes comes from New Latin, combining the Greek word kharadrios ("a bird of river valleys" or "a bird of ravines") and the Latin suffix -formes meaning "forms" or "shaped like". Therefore, Charadriiformes translates to "birds shaped like or resembling the charadrius," which is a type of plover or stone curlew historically found in dry river beds or ravines.
The word Scolopacidae is New Latin, derived from the genus name Scolopax (Latin for "snipe" or "woodcock") and the common zoological suffix for family names, -idae.
The scientific name gallinago is Neo-Latin for a woodcock or snipe from Latin gallina, "hen" and the suffix -ago, "resembling".
Nemoricola is a Latin term that means "woodland-dweller" or "forest-dweller". It is derived from the Latin word nemus, nemoris meaning "forest" or "woodland," and the Latin suffix -cola, meaning "inhabitant" or "dwelling".
