The Hamerkop also known as Hammerkop,Hammerkopf, Hammerhead, Hammerhead Stork, Umbrette, Umber Bird, Tufted Umber, or Anvilhead, is a medium-sized wading bird. The shape of its head with a curved bill and crest at the back is reminiscent of a hammer, hence its name.
Thanks, Bayucca, for the ID :) I only saw this bird only once and hope to see it again and get a better shot.
