Poaka, the pied stilt
Himantopus himantopus leucocephalus
Of the five sub species of pied stilt,
leucocephalus
extends from the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Bismarck Archepelago to Australia and new Zealand. Pied stilts are more generally known as black-winged stilt overseas and breed all around the world in tropical and warm temperate climates.
The ornithologist W.R.B. Oliver says, “In my opinion the Australian and New Zealand pied stilts should together be maintained as a species distinct from the northern H. himantopus, firstly, because in the adult stage it has the hind neck black whereas in H. himantopus it is white, and, secondly, it has a black counterpart in H. novaezealandiae with which it interbreeds.”
