Far Eastern curlew 
(Choắt mỏ cong hông nâu, Rẽ mỏ cong hông nâu, Numenius madagascariensis)

The Far Eastern Curlew (Numenius madagascariensis, Choắt mỏ cong hông nâu) is a large shorebird in the large family Scolopacidae.

The bird spends its breeding season in northeastern Asia, Siberia to Kamchatka, and Mongolia. Most individuals spend the non-breeding season in coastal Australia; some wintering in Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and New Zealand...

The term Charadriiformes comes from New Latin, combining the Greek word kharadrios ("a bird of river valleys" or "a bird of ravines") and the Latin suffix -formes meaning "forms" or "shaped like". Therefore, Charadriiformes translates to "birds shaped like or resembling the charadrius," which is a type of plover or stone curlew historically found in dry river beds or ravines. 

The word Scolopacidae is New Latin, derived from the genus name Scolopax (Latin for "snipe" or "woodcock") and the common zoological suffix for family names, -idae.

The English name may have been influenced by the Old French corliu, "messenger", from courir , "to run".

Numenius (Νουμήνιος, noumēnios) comes from Greek, meaning "of the new moon" or related to the moon's first phase, derived from neos (new) + mene (moon), referencing the curlew's crescent-shaped bill, though it's also linked to "bird" or used by philosophers like Numenius of Apamea, making it a term with both biological and philosophical roots from Greek to Latin. 

Madagascariensis is a Latin-derived term meaning "belonging to or from Madagascar," indicating a species' origin from that island: the term is built from "Madagascar" plus the Latin suffix '-ensis' for origin. The term was an error or mistaken for Makassar on Sulawesi, Indonesia. This bird species has never been recorded in Madagascar.
