to me, it looks like a female yellow-billed (chinese) Grosbeak but I also cannot tell the difference between Japanese and the Yellow-Billed .. can someone cast more light on this photo? cheers

Japanese doesn't breed anywhere near Hong Kong Wilson, making the issue rather easier to resolve!
Cheers

Am I wrong? I have marked it as Chinese Grosbeak. I think it is a Juvenile Female, right?

Chinese and Yellow-billed is the same species. So your labeling is correct.
I don't think you can tell whether its a male or a female on such a young bird.
