I didn't have a camera on me since I go hiking around here all the time (so I don't expect anyone to believe me), but it looked exactly like pic related.
I go hiking all the time so when I saw the bird I was curious since I'd never seen anything like it, and there's really only a handful of birds you see.
Came home and went through a list of all NZ birds and I'm 99.99% sure it was this, pic related (called the piopio)

Go back and get pictures. If you saw it messing around low in the bush then that's actually halfway believable.

If you didn't even want them why won't you tell the museum?
