western weka (Gallirallus australis australis)

Westport (on the west coast of the South Island), April 2006
Great shot!

You can see where the 'Galli-' comes from - there's a definite fowl/gamebird resemblance.
 
yep weka really do look sort of like scruffy hens. This photo isn't brilliantly-focused but I just liked the pose as it stretches
