This might have been signed as a Senegal thick-knee but it is a Eurasian thick-knee, note the presence of a white stripe on the wing (grey or with only a little bit of white in Senegal). The bill of the bird is also wrong for the species: Senegal thick-knee have weirdly-shaped long bills with the black moustache near the lower mandible generally quite a bit longer than in Eurasian.
 
Thank you for this correction. There were no signs for any of the birds in the North African Aviary. I have updated the title.
