This description fits the emu of Australia, but it does not really look like an ostrich. Another member of this family is the rhea of South America.

The ostrich, emu, rhea and cassowary are all ratites, a group of Flightless Birds characterised by having chest muscles undeveloped enough for flight.

What is A large flightless bird that looks like a ostrich related to the emu?

There is no bird that looks like an ostrich related to the emu. The ostrich (from Africa), rhea (South America) and the cassowary (northern Australia and Papua New Guinea) are all Flightless Birds in the same category of "ratites" as the emu. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.
