Saddleback (bird)

The saddlebacks or tieke are two species of New Zealand bird of the family Callaeidae. Both are glossy black with a chestnut saddle. Its taxonomic family is also known as that of the (New Zealand) "wattlebirds" and includes the two subspecies (one for each main island) of the kōkako as well as the extinct huia. All members of this family have coloured fleshy appendages on either side of the beak known as "wattles". In the case of the saddlebacks, they are a vivid red in colour.
==Taxonomy==
Its common name is derived from the demarcated brown plumage on its back which resembles a saddle. The Maori name of ''tieke'' is from the particular sound of one of this species' common calls: ''ti-e-ke-ke-ke-ke''.
There are two species:
* North Island saddleback — ''Philesturnus rufusater''
* South Island saddleback — ''Philesturnus carunculatus''
The saddlebacks appear to be a remnant of an early expansion of passerines in New Zealand and are two of five New Zealand wattlebirds of the family Callaeidae, the others being the extinct huia, the endangered North Island kōkako, and the probably extinct South Island kōkako. New Zealand wattlebirds have no close relatives apart from the stitchbird, and their taxonomic relationships to other birds remain to be determined.
