    You can ask a question and after I answered it you can take two guesses.

    Hints

    - It's somewhat larger than a golf ball.

    - It's not an insect.

    - Hmm.. I just realized that they are strictly an Old World species.
    But there is a species in the New World that goes by the same name and also looks pretty much the same.
    I will answer the questions with the Old World species in mind. I don't think it will make much of a difference.

    - It's rather dull colored i.e. no bright colors.

    The bird in question is dull-colored and not much larger than a golf ball.
    Both the Old World and the New World know a bird by this name but, although they are similar in appearance, they are different species (even belonging to different families).
