The Javan woodcock (Scolopax saturata) or rufous woodcock is a small wader restricted to wet mountain forests on Sumatra and western Java. It nests on a bed of moss in light undergrowth. It has a "drumming" display flight like the Eurasian woodcock, but the calls are different.[citation needed]

It is smaller than Eurasian woodcock, and has much darker plumage. It was formerly considered to be conspecific (that is, of the same species) with the New Guinea woodcock and was called the dusky woodcock.[citation needed]

Numbers of the species are currently decresing, and the current population is estimated at between 2500 and 10,000 adults, split across between ten and fifty subpopulations. One generation usually spans a little over four years.[1]
