I think Eurasian Siskin

My guess is Eurasian Siskin ~ Spinus spinus.

Yes, Eurasian Siskin. An interesting record.
This would be a latest spring record for HK if accepted by RC (current latest is 4 April I think).

I had 3 on Po Toi on 17 May 2011 which were accepted as "probable ex-captives" although there was no visible sign. I wonder whether there may be a late spring passage for this species.

Thank you all for your help. I spotted 3 of these just before the 4 PM ferry around the old school!
