Parvindela terricola cinctipennis

Stewart Island, New Zealand-1634
Endemic and common in coastal habitats around the North and South Island and is much heavier than the South Island Pied Oystercatcher. The cool thing about this Oystercatcher is he will stand is ground and is not afraid to chase you away.

Unusually the antehumerals are not broken into an exclamation mark, but it has the Coenagrion spur for the Genus and the batman mark on S9
