The upland bully (Gobiomorphus breviceps) is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae endemic to freshwater habitats in New Zealand.

[3] The face is profusely marked with orange spots, and there is a cream vertical band at the base of the pectoral fins.

[1] Over spring and summer, the male establishes and defends a ‘nest’ – usually a hollow beneath a rock.

[2] They are present in the lower half of the North Island, from the headwaters of the Mokau River in the west to southern Hawke's Bay in the east.

[3] Upland bullies in the large southern group are often larger and more boldly patterned than their northern counterparts.
