A good day for Verditer Flycatcher with five birds in four situations. A pair was found near the banana forest on blue walk.

Another records as below,
high count of four Greenish Warbler.
Blyth's Leaf Warbler - 2
Black Bulbul - 1, may be the same bird from September, almost stay for three months.
Buff-bellied Flowerpecker is abundant in Tai Po Kau in this winter.
Hair-crested Drongo  -1
Japanese Thrush - 1male

A Red Muntjac was also seen on the red walk.

A possibly male Rufous-bellied Niltava was seen near the junction for choosing red or blue walk.

I managed to see it for seconds by its fully uniform chestnut underpart from the breast to the vent. Hence, it is different from Fujian Niltava by its washed out lower part of belly and vent. Also, I can also see its black face and complete throat, so Vivid Niltava can be ruled out. For its sound, it is rather soft and is slightly different from Fujian Niltava.

By the way, i am not confident for Rufous-bellied Niltava because of weak light condition near darkness around five-forty. May be .... it is just a dark version of Fujian Niltava.

I also got one Verditer Flycatcher, one White's Thrush and many invisible thrushes on the red walk.

No big surprise today, just
An unidentified Phylloscopus warbler was seen twice. (see detail in following link)

Also, an unknown spectacled warbler was seen on blue walk in long long long distance. No idea which is it for.

Also, with many Mountain Bulbul around the forest and several Tristram's Bunting.

Really look like a Rufous-bellied Niltava by its fully rufous breast to lower belly.
By this link, another angle of the same bird shows obvious blue crown and shoulder. The wing is not long.

For this photo of Fujian Niltava, the lower part of belly and vent is obviously whitish without any rufouscent and blue forehead.
