I personally think this is a blue throated bee-eater.
There is a chestnut cap and blue throat although the quality of photo is not that good.....
Please comment on this! Thanks~

Hello Tony,

I think I can see a small area of white on the throat and below the dark eyeline, and an orange-brown patch on the upper chest.

Looks good for Blue-tailed.....

Taken in Hong Kong ?

Hi Tony,

Please don't forget to mention the date and location of your photo.

I agree with John that it looks like a blue-tailed to me.

Regards,

Forrest
