OMIT diver (loons in north america, spear shaped bill,
known to migrate to the mediterranean sea
but are not commonly found in middle eastern countries, they eat amphibians and crustaceans)
another possibility is a heron
a 3rd possibility is a duck, or spec. a wild duck known as the smew
a HUGE possibility is it could be duck, since ducks were known as divers-
from Wikipedia:
The word duck comes from Old English duce 'diver',
a derivative of the verb *ducan 'to duck,
bend down low as if to get under something, or dive',
because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending;
compare with Dutch duiken and German tauchen 'to dive'.
they are found in the middle east unlike loons and they too eat amphibians and crustaceans
(which is redundant since it was already listed)
red bill (hornbill, looks like a toucan found in sub saharan africa)
or oxpecker (found in sub saharan africa)
red billed tropicbird which eats fish and squid
4th possibility - flamingo - they are known to migrate to various middle eastern countries
