I've seen Crested Pigeons and Spotted Turtle Doves doing the same.

Twice in the past week I have seen separate Australian Magpies spread-eagled
in a golf-course bunker (described by my two non-birder co-players on one
occasion as looking like a "dead penguin" from a distance). The bird has
selected the face of the bunker which enables it to be full-on to the sun
from behind.
