Umbellus would work; it's the Latin species name of the
ruffed grouse (bonasa umbellus).

Jo & Tweeters:

RE Bird names starting with "U":

"A Fowl Alphabet," by Alan James Robinson uses UMBRELLA BIRD.
Nancy Pallan's famous T-Shirt by Plant the Earth uses UPLAND SANDPIPER.

Perhaps you could eliminate some vowels the way license plates do.
