11a Wading bird, last in this list.(5)

2 people before (page 4) have given the answer as STILT, but I think it could be STINT, which is also a wading bird, and is in the clue ( LA(ST IN T)HIS LIST. I can't quite see how either word fits in with the clue though.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Sorry. Only just checked page four. You all seem to have it covered
STILT is right.
Last in this is "s" + to list (as a ship might) is to tilt (to one side)
STINT is ingenious, but there is no container word. The clue would have to be something like:

"Wading bird, first in town centre"
