Is this a Dunlin? It seems that this bird is developing its bleeding plumage.

It's a Curlew Sandpiper. As you say, it is moulting into breeding plumage, which is red in this species. There are a lot of Curlew Sandpipers passing through Hong Kong at the moment, and while most of the Dunlin have already moved further north.
