Hint: This is a kind of minivet.
There is only two minivet species commonly seen in HK. Try to find it out from bird guide.

Note the throat colour , can you find the answer now ?

Is this 灰喉山椒鳥？he....

That's right -

Your bird is yellow, so you can assume it is a female (males are rd or orange)
Female Scarlet Minivet has a yellow throat not a grey throat, so this must be Grey-chinned Minivet.
