Bird with a down-curved bill (4)

I believe the answer is:

ibis

(Other definitions for ibis that I've seen before include "Wader worshipped by ancient Egyptians" , "Storklike bird" , "Sacred Egyptian bird" , "Wader once sacred in Egypt" , "Winger" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.
