North Island Robin (Petroica longipes)
About the North Island Robin
The North Island robin (Petroica longipes; Māori: toutouwai, pronounced [ˈtoutouwai]) is a species of Australasian robin endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. It and the South Island robin (P. australis) of the South Island and Stewart Island were once considered conspecific (and called the "New Zealand robin"), but mitochondrial DNA sequences have shown that the two lineages split prior to the Pleistocene, and support the classification as two different species.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 35 recordings for this species: 34 CC BY-NC-SA · 1 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
