I also took some photos of similar flycatcher at Ho Man Tin on 21-09-2016

This set of photos are taken at noon







This photo is taken at evening at the same places

It looks like a female Cyornis Blue Flycatcher.
Separation of these is extremely difficult. The species expected in Hong Kong is Hainan Blue Flycatcher, which is quite a common breeding species and migrant while anything else would be extremely rare. I can see no reason to suppose that this bird is not Hainan Blue.
