This bird was a very vocal one, and we flushed it for several times, in size it was close to a Common Snipe (a bit smaller), and all the calls it gave sounds typical for Pin-tailed Snipe. The call was higher pitched than that of Swinhoe's and was repeated more often.
I checked some more pictures of this bird, and on all of them the leg projection is very obvious, which is also typical for Pin-tailed.
But you are right Matti, separating Pin-tailed Snipe and Swinhoe's in the field is often very hard.
Due to separating difficulties "swintail" is the name.
Not that I can verify the identification of all these but there are some good images there.
