It looks like a Black-faced, but probably nominate spodocephala.
Recent studies of birds trapped in HK and overseas have suggested that birds wintering in HK may be within the range of variation of spodocephala. The exact status of true sordida in HK is currently unclear. Author: bond Time: 3/11/2010 23:11
I see, it's not easy to find information about the sub spp. of migrant in HK.
