[Image]This is where we need some help. What kind of bird is this? I asked the photographer, ERIO, and he didn't know either. Any ornithologists around that can give us a clue?
Here are some key characteristics - it is big, has a spoon-shaped bill, and is ugly. Does that help?

Its Latin name is Ajaia ajaja, which mimics the cries of horror evoked upon its discovery.
