I'm a little late posting this, so answers for this challenge are due by replying to this topic by 0700 (NZST) on Tuesday 15 June 2010 (but I suggest you aim to get them in by the 14th, as usual, hence the subject line
).
Click here for the rules.
The winner of the 2009-2010 ID Quiz will get one free place on a scheduled Wrybill Birding Tours, NZ pelagic trip!
Answers will not be visible to anyone else until after the closing date.

Out on a limb here, only seen this species once, on Tiritiri; and that's where I bet this was taken.
It's a Whitehead, female or juv.

Look like a juvenile Bellbird to me. Its got that fluffy look to the underparts, the long tail, feeding on the open ground.

I reckon it's a Whitehead ... that plumage colour combo, that tail ...
