Sacred Nile wader (4)

I believe the answer is:

ibis

(Other definitions for ibis that I've seen before include "Bird sacred in Ancient Egypt" , "Slowly discharge" , "Large wading birds with down-curved bills" , "Winger" , "Bird with long neck and legs and a curved bill" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
