ID Challenge #11 - closes 14 June 2010
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.

The other birds that are simlar wouldnt approach the ground as whiteheads do eg brown creepers and yellow heads

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.
