Very grateful for any help with my last clue please.

Rail is a bird and also a bar.

They don't really have long legs though do they? That part of the clue seemed a bit unnecessary to me.

Quite long for a bird of that size.

Fair enough , I've had Moorhens in the house (part of the rail family) not that long legged - I would associate long legged birds with Flamingos etc

Thank you
