It looks like a female Cyornis Blue Flycatcher.
Separation of these is extremely difficult. The species expected in Hong Kong is Hainan Blue Flycatcher, which is quite a common breeding species and migrant while anything else would be extremely rare. I can see no reason to suppose that this bird is not Hainan Blue. Author: 星魚 Time: 28/09/2016 08:53
