Do you have any more pictures of this bird, with the wing closed or upperparts showing? It looks very pale grey above, with black centres to the coverts. It may be a candidate for [i]baicalensis[/i].
Lovely picture by the way.

Hi ajohn, here is another one:

Hmmm. An interesting bird. The head pattern and small black breast patch possibly favour [i]leucopsis[/i]. But the paleness of the back and lesser coverts, and the dark centres to median and greater coverts favour [i]baicalensis[/i]. It's difficult to judge the extent of black in the rump/lower back which may help decide on ID.
I suggest you submit the photos to the Records Committee on an Unusual Record Form ([url]http://www.hkbws.org.hk/web/chi/documents/record_committee/rare_species_report_form.doc[/url]).
