I'm with John on this one; also I think that there are two different species here - photo 2 being a different species from 1 and 3. I don't have any relevant literature to hand right now but will check later.

A quick look at Clement et al. 'Finches and Sparrows' supports ID as White-rumped Seedeater - combination of no supercilium and dark streaks on the crown only seems to fit this Serinus. A really bizarre species to find at San Tin and I think a first for HK (Cat III obviously). Recs Com is going to hate this !
