The English name "dowitcher" is from Iroquois, recorded in English by the 1830s.They resemble godwits in body and bill shape, and the reddish underparts in summer, but are much shorter legged, more like snipe to which they are also somewhat more closely related. All three are strongly migratory. The two North American species are difficult to separate in most plumages, and were considered a single species for many years. The Asian bird is rare and not well known.
