    Philippine pangolin maybe. I think this species is found on a couple of islands though, I am not realy sure. If neither of our answers are correct can you say if it is bigger or small than a grey wolf.

    While waiting for vogelcommando to put us out of our misery (he's probably got more of this work nonsense:confused:;))
    I will give another animal to guess:

    It is a mammal that when you Google by common name you get pictures of a machine that shares its name.

    Yes you're right, it was quite easy. So now I can add another species but I won't do that but give another clue to the species I'm still looking for.
    As said it's an Asian bird and to make it a little more precize, it's from the Indian sub-continent.

    Is it a Dodo? The relative being some sort of pigeon, and the look-alike a turkey of some sort? I'm just grasping at straws here....

    I think the relative and the look alike were supposed to be the same animal. Meaning the relative looks like the animal that we are trying to guess?

    If we can add new animals...

    It's an ungulate (though you might not immediately know it). It is relatively cosmopolitan, though it seems to avoid the coldest of places. It is gray and white. It was recently split into three species.

    Is the you might not immediately know it part reffering to it being part of ceatecea because most people don't thing of them as ungulates but they are usually considered to be as such.

    No the species I'm looking for and the look-a-like are different species. The look-a-like is however a lot bigger. To give another clue : the species belongs to the Coraciiformes ( = Kingfishers, Bee-eaters, Hoopoes, Rollers, Hornbills and relatives ). Hopes this helps.

    It is a type of dolphin. But not a striped dolphin. It exhibits counter shading, but is not considered to be have stripes really.

    The big clue here is that it was recently split into three species, The particular species I am thinking of is the most widespread of the three.

    Narcondam Hornbill? (Rhyticeros narcondami)
    With the look a like being a much larger species of hornbill such as great hornbill but I haven't given much thought to the captive breeding of the larger relative species.

    @ LaughingDove : You are right ! The Narcondam Hornbill was the one I was looking for !
    The bigger relative I meaned is the Whreathed Hornbill. Congrat and now you add a new species.
