Love practically naked flipping bird (6)

I believe the answer is:

dunlin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bird' is the definition.
(dunlin is a kind of bird)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dunlin that I've seen before include "My bill goes down a bit" , "Common shore bird" , "Red-backed sandpiper" , "Breed of sandpiper" , "Migratory sandpiper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
