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.

[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.
