What kind of bird? Wild or fled?

Necklace colours

Quoting from "The birds of Hong Kong and south China" by Viney, Phillipps and Lam: -

"Birds of south China race picticollis have blue-grey patches at the sides of the neck but birds showing the black necklace typical of more westerly races also occur in HK".

From the photo (and despite the location) this looks like the south China race.

So it seems more likely to be wild, but nothing is 100% certain with birds !
