Saw a group of about 15 needletails while hiking today at about 400m altitude in Lantau island.
I guess they should be Silver-backed, as I could not see any white.
Can anyone confirm please?
Unfortunately, only had a 105mm macro lens with me...

Thanks a lot

Yes, lack of white on throat and so I would also think they are Silver-backed.
Very nice capture from the lens of 105mm!!
