Found at Chek Lap Kok in November 2012. It was in the vegatation area in between road and the "narrow channel" of the sea.

It's certainly a juvenile coucal (as shown by the barred primaries), but I would say that the pattern and colour of the barring on the body feathers, and the fact there a few pale streaks are visible on the feathers of the upperparts, means that this is (or rather, was) a juvenile Lesser Coucal.
