Green light spell in OotP

I'm wondering if {Tonks} could have gotten hit with anything other
than Avada  Kedavra.  It seems to me that she got hit with the same
type of green  light that hit the statue protecting Harry, the same
green light that  'killed' Fawkes and the same green light that
snuffed everyone else in  the series who got snuffed with the Avada
Kedavra spell.
 
JKR says that Tonks will appear in later books - so I'm waiting for
someone to tell me why she didn't die from the green light, or perhaps
that there is another powerful spell that emits a green flash.  Ideas?

The spell was never described. All the text said was "Harry saw
Tonks fall .., her limp form toppling from stone seat to stone
seat, and Bellatrix, triumphant, running back towards the fray"

Bellatrix wasn't only shooting AKs because {if you believe that
"her" second jet of light hit Sirius} Sirius didn't die
immediately like he would have if he was hit by an AK -
he d'd going through the veil.
Also in her winning duel with Kingsley,jkr describes him as 
"There was a loud bang and a yell from behind the dais. Harry 
saw Kingsley, yelling in pain, hit the ground."
Not the result of an AK.
