What I am preeety sure is a Campbell Teal.
These flightless ducks were almost classified extinct due to introduced rats infesting their natural nesting grounds until re-discovery and re-introduction to natural habitat via breeding programs saw them have a comeback finally.
They, and the Brown teal are classified as endangered due to the hazards of introduced animals in New Zealand.
