Is this a Rosy Pipit or a juvenile Olive-backed Pipit?

Olive-backed Pipit (not a juvenile at this time of year). Note the greenish-tinged mantle with little streaking. Apart from other differences, Rosy Pipit would be browner and a lot more heavily streaked on the mantle. Rosy Pipit is also very rare in Hong Kong.
