The North Island saddleback (Philesturnus rufusater) is a forest-dwelling passerine bird species endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. It was once considered conspecific with the South Island saddleback.[3] The IUCN lists the species as Near Threatened, while it is listed as a "relict" species in the New Zealand Threat Classification System.[1][2] Saddlebacks are known in Māori as tīeke.
