Well, OK Steve.  Think of those cakes of one’s childhood (1950ish), not Lamos, the ones with a custardy filling sandwiched between flaky pastry with a smear of jam on each side.  Haven’t seen them recently but they were popular in their day.  Also, the bird has an alternative vernacular name consisting of one word.

Hmm, how about a clue? Country? Continent?

A friend snapped this to test me (I failed).  It is very unlikely you would see this bird in Canberra.  In fact a Grey-headed Lapwing is much more likely.  Any bids?
