Interesting.
A female [i]Passer[/i] sparrow. Bill shape and colour, and head pattern, look more like House [i]P. domesticus[/i] than Russet [i]P. cinnamomeus[/i].
Not a recent record - I think there was a record of one at LV a few years back, as well as nearby in Guangdong. Same year as this one?

From the recent update of species to the HK list:
House Sparrow was transferred to Category I of the HK List based on a record at Long Valley dated 2012-11-03
Presumably this is the same bird as referred to above - albeit two days earlier.
