Morphology

cream-colored + courser

This is a straightforward adjective + noun combination: 'cream-colored' denotes the pale, cream/sandy hue and 'courser' names a ground-running bird. The overall meaning (a courser that is cream/pale-colored) is directly derivable from the constituents and follows a common color‑modifier + noun pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the parts should understand it.

Etymology

Cream-colored courser is named from two simple ideas: cream-colored means 'pale' and courser was an old word for a 'fast runner'. So the image of a pale bird running across the sand helps explain why the name means this fast desert bird.
