It is slightly larger and longer-legged than Eurasian woodcock, and may be conspecific. This species is a restricted-range endemic found only in forests on two small islands of the Amami Islands chain in South Japan. Insofar as its habits are known, they are similar to Eurasian woodcock. Taxonomy and SystematicsThe Amami Woodcock was originally described as a subspecies of the Eurasian Woodcock, due to a juvenile that resembled the Eurasian woodcock in coloration. Later, some argued that the Amami Woodcock was a distinct species—Kobayashi in 1979 and Cramp & Simmons in 1983. Comparison between the two species revealed their distinct physical features, and led to the emergence of the Amami Woodcock as a distinct species.[2] References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22693056 |title=Scolopax mira |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|last=Brazil|first=Mark|last2=Ikenaga|first2=Hiroshi|date=December 1987|title=The Amami Woodcock Scolopax mira: Its Identity and Identification|url=http://orientalbirdclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Brazil-AmamiWoodcock.pdf|journal=Forktail|volume=|pages=|via=}} Further readingShorebirds by Hayman, Marchant and Prater, {{ISBN|0-7099-2034-2}} External links{{Commons category|Scolopax mira}}
