No, they are not. Timpani are tuned drums, but snare drums cannot be tuned. They are also made of different metals and have different shapes to the bottom of the instrument. And then there's the snares - timpani don't have them.

What is the most common untuned percussion instrument?

The short answer is a snare drum. But snare drums really do need to be tuned - they just aren't tuned to a specific note like a xylophone or timpani (unless you are a hard-core tuner, then you could).
