Do you have more details or a description of the barbet call you heard? It would be very interesting if Chinese Barbet was present at Wutongshan (and for me would make it surprising that it was not reported in HK until this winter). Other barbets have been reported free-flying in HK (e.g. I have seen and heard Blue-throated) so it may be useful to be sure that it was not one of those other species.
