Sorry that the photo is not clear enough.
It seems no white rump and underwing covert appeared to be barred.

Bird book said that usually one appeared between a folk of Eurasian Curlew,
But they seemed to be a folk of Far Eastern Curlew.

Thx!

Four, possibly five (?) Far Eastern Curlews.   It is unusual to see so many at one time, but the 2011,2012 and 2013 "Peak counts" were 5,6 and 6 (according to the 2013 HK Bird Report).

One sentence from an expert better than hours of searching.
Thx!
