Bird also called a green plover or pewit (7)

I believe the answer is:

lapwing

(Other definitions for lapwing that I've seen before include "Bird of the plover family" , "Green plover" , "Variety of plover" , "Large plover with a loud call -- peewit" , "high-flier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
