its a whitehead from the underneath colour cream colour and light brown top.
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.
