The Huia, (Heteralocha acutirostris), was a species of New Zealand Wattlebird endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. This species became extinct in the early 20th century, primarily as a result of massive over hunting and widespread habitat destruction. The last accepted sighting was made by one W.W. Smith who saw three birds in the Tararua Ranges on 28 December 1907 but quite credible reports of further sightings were made as late as 1922.
