Gallinago undulata gigantea

The occurrence of this species in northeastern Brazil – where it is very local and usually syntopic with the much commoner G. paraguaiae – is often overlooked in reference works and field guides (e.g., Erize et al., 2006; Van Gils et al., 2020). One specimen collected in São Miguel dos Campos (MNRJ 34436) is the only record of this species in Alagoas. Other records in the PCE include two specimens collected in Recife on 16 July 1943 (USNM 375743) and 15 September 1943 (USNM 375744; Lamm, 1948) and one collected in Igarassu on 4 February 1945 (MNRJ 24678; Berla, 1946), all in Pernambuco.
