Croatian translation:egipatska pješčarka; egipatski zlatar
Explanation:

ne znam postoji li negdje evidentiran naziv baš za ovu pticu, no za ptice iz ove porodice postoje u hrvatskom nazivi pješčarka, zlatar i još neki, možda bi gornja kombinacija odgovarala... ("glareolidae, pluvialis" su neke od referentnih riječi za hrvatske nazive)

neutral  bonafide1313: imo ako se "crocodile bird" želi prenijeti u hrvatski trebala bi biti u najmanju ruku krokodilska ptica, krokodilova ptica ili tako nekako - "krokodil ptica" u hrv. bi imo bilo nešto nit ptica, nit krokodil, ili i ptica i krokodil, kao čovjek zmija npr.
