thing ril [IW]

wild duck [JV]

(med) Sandpiper (David Holler)
Red Shank (Tringa ochropus, Green Sandpiper) (Paljor 2018)
Synonyms : 'jam sgra ldan ('Jam-dpal) thing ril (David Holler)

mthing ril ni / 'jam sgra ldan zer / phug ron nas chung rkang dmar phra ring / dkar la skya khra skad ring phra ba'o // de'i gre bar lhan thabs las sgra snyan 'byung bar gsungs // (mDzes mtshar mig rgyan, print p 259)

Illustrations : 'Jam-dpal (print p 259) mthing ril

'Jam-dpal gives the orthograph mthing ril, for which David Holler (Tibet.birds.com) gives the Ibisbill (Ibidorhyncha struthersii), which occurs on the high plateau of Central Asia and the Himalaya. But his distinctive features are not illustrated in the Eye Ornament. Holler gives sandpipers with the orthograph thing ril, which are closer to the image.
Paljor (2018) identifies mthing ril also with Sandpipers, but slightly confuses english and scientific names : Red Shank is Tringa totanus, wheras the given Tringa ochropus is the Green Sandpiper.
