Short looking legs, wrong wing shape with no broad and black trailing edge contrasting with white underwings, I can't see a stone-curlew here. Can't put a name on it though. Any other pics?

As the observer has no idea of ​​the size or type of flight, can a Lark be discarded?

Or even a pipit? Has very long tertials.

Galerida sp looks best from shape.

I don’t think this is identifiable tbh - I can’t see a lark or pipit with the (pink?) feet projecting from the utcs like that though.

Am I right in thinking that the image has been heavily cropped? If so, does the original photo contain anything else which would give us an indication of the size of the bird and its surroundings?

What did the photographer think they were taking a photo of ? Do they have much knowledge of bird species? It would be of interest to share what the other people thinks the subject bird is.
Thank you.

Pat , the photographer has already some good birding knowledge and he had thought initially on stone-curlew but has not sure , that,s why he had submit the picture in our local forum.
There are a few more experimented birders that have also identifying some traces of stone-curlew in the picture although wing shape does not generate consensus.
We also have tried to size the bird with the photographer but he cannot recall since the bird has at a considerable distance.

It is not clear to me that he thought of Stone curlew in the field, I think he only thought that when he looked at the photo. In reality it is not even clear that he saw the bird, it may have been caught by chance when he was photographing another species ...
