Cave weta with a distinctive V shape on its back with a white dot above the top middle of the V. Banded legs.
Pale on the abdomen side with increasing spottiness to the top.
Tan brown, not reddish brown.
I discovered this while sweeping, and seem to have swept off one of its two hind legs :(
I have plenty of additional photos. It has long antennae.

These were numerous on the tops on this hot, breezy day. All three photographs are of the same individual.
According to the Landcare Research web page, these are seldom found above 900 m, but they were abundant here at around 1200 m.
Update (28 March 2015): As NZsnowman points out in a comment below, the altitude of this observation is typical of Paprides nitidus.
