Flamingo

Flamingo: any of several large aquatic birds (family Phoenicopteridae) with long legs and neck, a broad lamellate bill resembling that of a duck but abruptly bent downwards, and usually rosy-white plumage with scarlet wing coverts and black wing quills.

Flamingo comes from the Latin word flamma, which means "fire," and the obsolete Spanish word flamengo meaning "German." Germans were generally thought to be ruddy-complexioned. Both of these words are used in "flamingo" because of the flamingo's coloring.
