Also of interest to Hong Kong are ongoing discussion about the potential for uplisting Grey-tailed Tattler (to Near Threatened:

http://www.birdlife.org/globally ... ened-or-vulnerable/).
There are other ongoing discussions relevant to birds in China (e.g. Silver Oriole, Blackthroat, Rufous-headed Robin). White-faced Plover (dealbatus) is proposed for listing as Data Deficient.
