It seems to straddle the fence between storks and pelicans, perhaps it's some common ancestor proto-species, a cave pelican.
quote:
The shoebill (Balaeniceps rex) also known as whalehead or shoe-billed stork, is a very large stork-like bird. It derives its name from its massive shoe-shaped bill. Although it has a somewhat stork-like overall form and has previously been classified in the order Ciconiiformes, its true affiliations with other living birds is ambiguous. Some authorities now reclassify it with the Pelecaniformes.

I was only kidding about the cave pelican, but I might have been right.
quote:
A recent DNA study suggests they are part of the Pelecaniformes.[5]
The dispute has turned out to be mainly one of where to draw the boundary between Ciconiiformes and Pelecaniformes, or whether to draw it at all. Since cormorants and relatives are probably not actually Pelecaniformes, a solution adopted by some modern authors is to merge the "core" Pelecaniformes with the Ciconiiformes. The shoebill and the hammerkop (Scopus umbretta) are the "missing links" that connect pelicans and storks, and including the pelican lineage in the Ciconiiformes expresses this more adequately than other treatments do.
It doesn't get much more authoritative than wikipedia. I think we can officially allow shoebill stork pictures on this board.

They'll try to eat anything that has a chance of fitting in their mouths.
