Description
Photographed in Colo on Viti Levu, so there shouldn't be any other parrot than the Masked Shining Parrot. However, this individual has clearly a red belly and resembles more closely the Maroon Shining Parrot (not quite since there is a little yellow under the wing). Any ideas what is going on here?

Description
Not sure what to make of this one, found in a very isolated little area of creviced schist rock in the Waitaki Valley, between 20-30 km inland and only about 1 km south of the Waitaki River. Its size (SVL around 55-60 mm) would suggest an Alps (a number of adults including gravid females seen, confirming they are small), but its deep yellow eyes, toe shape and general colour pattern are quite unlike the Alps' among greywacke further west in the same valley, and I don't know of any alps anywhere having deep yellow eyes. Korero geckos are off to the south in the Kakanui Mts system, but although small for their species there they are still distinctly bigger then these ones and with rather different patterning. If I had to guess I'd probably go with aberrant Southern Alps gecko, maybe with some korero genetic influence? Superficially they're a little like the schist gecko, but surely much too isolated to be a population of them.

Managed to see 2/3 snipe so pretty pleased (and Snares Snipe would be a bit of an unreasonable hope).
As you might expect I have an absurd number of photos from this trip. Complicated by taking all the photos in lossless NEF but Nikon's own software crashes when batch editing or exporting, lol
