Kevin,

The bird is not a Mistletoebird.  It has the classic shape of a Petroica 
robin, either Scarlet or Flame.  The lack of red on the chest of the females 
suggest that it is a Flame Robin but as the photo was mostly just a 
silhouette I can't be sure. If the red was smilar to that of a Mistletoebird 
then it would be a Scarlet Robin.  The male Scarlet Robin is black on its 
head, back, wings etc. with white in the wings, whereas the Flame is dark 
grey instead of black.  The red of the Flame Robin tends to be more orange 
and extends onto the throat.
