Basic stats

Clutch size

Normally 4 eggs

Size

23–28cm

The greater painted-snipe is a medium-sized shorebird 23 to 28cm long. The female is polyandrous: she courts the males, and the males incubate the eggs and raise the young. The clutch is normally four eggs (Wikipedia, general species account).

The only source read for the Bhutan guide gives these details. No plumage, range, habitat or diet information was found, so none is stated, and its occurrence in Bhutan is flagged for checking.
