Bush stone-curlew
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_stone-curlew
The photo was taken in Australia by a friend of mine.
I've just learned that stone curlews are not true curlews, which may explain the confusion - probably similar to how Australian magpies are not related to European magpies.
They have the eeriest of calls, like a ghostly woman screaming in the night.
