Thanks, subbuteo.  In "A Photographic Guide to the Birds of HK" it is described as "vagrant", while in the later-published Field Guide it is "abundant and widespread resident".  What is the actual position?

I see.  We shall need to wait and see how the discussion resolves itself.  Thanks for your help.

Indeed!  Thanks, John.

Just to be very clear, in the Field Guide the juveniles of Parus minor are described as yellower (than adults) but there is no such colouration noted for juvenile Parus cinereous.  Does that mean that my bird could in fact be Parus minor?

... and let that be the last word in this discussion.  Thanks subbuteo and John for helping a novice.
