New Zealand bittern
The New Zealand bittern (''Ixobrychus novaezelandiae'') is an extinct and enigmatic species of heron in the family Ardeidae. It was endemic to New Zealand and was last recorded alive in the 1890s.〔Tennyson & Martinson.〕
Common names for this species include New Zealand little bittern, spotted heron, and ''kaoriki'' (Maori). The scientific species name also has numerous junior synonyms.〔
==Taxonomy==
The species has sometimes been regarded as a subspecies of little bittern (''Ixobrychus minutus''), or conspecific with the black-backed bittern of Australia and New Guinea, though it was first described by Alexander Callender Purdie〔 in 1871 as ''Ardeola Novae Zelandiae''.〔Potts.〕〔Purdie〕 In 1980 New Zealand palaeontologist Peter L. Horn found subfossil bones of a bittern from Lake Poukawa which he named ''Dupetor flavicollis''. In 1991 Philip Millener identified Horn's material as remains of the New Zealand bittern.〔Worthy & Holdaway〕
