Just a Common Buzzard, as far as I can see.

Note the undertail pattern - R-l. B. has a paler tail with some sort of terminal bar, often in very striking contrast.

Birds wintering and passing through HK are presumed to be B.b. japonicus, but I'd be interested to know how they can be separated from  B.b. vulpinus of Central Asia/Western China. Does anyone know?
