She has camouflaged herself quite well. You must have great eyesight to have spotted her!

Thanks guys!

Not sure where you are located, but this appears to me (no expert) to be a Bustard of some sort. Lovely colors and eye (hers and yours).

For the ID: I agree with MIKEIVAN, this bird looks like Female Australian Bustard

Ah, the location helps a lot. Black-bellied Bustard, I think. Of course, I could be mistaken, never been there. Also known as a Black-bellied Korhaan.
