This reminds me of playing a guess the mystery animal game with some friends
on-line. They were all trying to name this reputedly fairly common and rather
non-descript American bird:

... with clever, funny pars like "bearded grunt", "speckled twunt" and "cwunted
speckler", so were most put out by me coming out with "brown thrasher" and it
turning out to be correct.
