So long as this bird is kept separate from C. aeruginosus, Swamp harrier, the traditional name in Australia, can be used. If not, it becomes merely a subspecies of Marsh harrier ... Until more data are available, conservative treatment is to separate aeruginosus, spilonotus and approximans as full species.)

It now appears that the earlier names, both common and scientific, will be used again for this harrier.)

Wikipedia description:
The swamp harrier (Circus approximans), also known as the Australasian marsh harrier or Australasian harrier, is a large, slim bird of prey widely distributed across Australasia. In New Zealand, it is also known by the Māori name kāhu. It arrived in New Zealand within the last 700 years, replacing the larger species, the extinct New Zealand endemic Eyles's harrier. The swamp harrier belongs to the subfamily Circinae and genus Circus, which are represented worldwide, except Antarctica. The subfamily and genus are derived from the characteristic behaviour of circling flight during courtship and hawking.
