Siberian Stonechat - race maura?

Siberian Stonechat - race maura?

This male Stonechat has been seen around the Mai Po Education Center for a few days.
I've checked the Collins Bird Guide and it fits race maura.
According to the Avifauna of HK, "Measurements of birds trapped in Hong Kong fit both maura and stejnegeri, but on distribution are almost certainly the latter."

What is the current status of the 2 races in Hong Kong?
Please kindly advice.

Thanks,
Katherine
