The seedsnipe are a South American family of group of small gregarious waders which have adapted to a herbivorous diet.

These birds look superficially like sparrows in structure and bill shape. They have short legs and long wings.

Their 2-3 eggs are laid in a shallow scrape on the ground.de:Höhenläufer fr:Thinocoridae he:חופמי זרעים nl:Kwartelsnippen pt:Thinocoridae
