Nice catch. Can't confirm the species, but it does appear to be a woodcock of some type. From my hunting days (mostly in Turkey), I know they like to hang around trees and poke through dead leaves and other forest decay to eat insects and worms that are hidden underneath. Best hunted with a trained pointer dog and a light charge of #9 shot. Quite delicious -- fillet the breasts, roast in the oven, and serve over rice with a some Parmesan sprinkled on top.
