Without clicking through to see the answer, can you figure out what species of bird this is? For those that are wondering “What bird?” it’s got its beak tucked and its in a sleeping position, although if you look really closely it’s eye is open and it’s watching me like a hawk. But it’s not a hawk.

Hint: it’s a bird well-known for it’s camouflage ability to blend into the terrain.
