There's a white Jabiru native to the Americas that is the only member of the Jabiru genus. Yours is "officially" the Asian Black-necked Stork, as you say. It's in the same genus (Ephippiorhynchus) as the Saddle-billed Stork of sub-Saharan Africa.

Known officially as the black-necked stork. These things are big. I was riding my bike one day when a jabiru stepped out of the mangroves and it scared the bejeesus out of me. Apart from the legs they are solid, have a sharp beak and take a while to get off the ground.

There's also a town in the Northern Territory with this name.
