Is it not possible this just refers to a Fork-tailed Sunbird?

Not exactly "bright yellow" I know, but it is more "warbler-sized" than Mrs G's, and a LOT more common.

Here's one I photographed last week in Sai Kung, by way of attempting my first photo attachment.

Yeah, I know it's a Fork-tailed Sunbird - I posted it to show:

(a) FtS has a dark head - darker I'd have thought than Mrs G's
(b) FtS has a very obvious red throat/chest
(c) FtS has yellow underparts - though not perhaps bright yellow, they are clearly yellow most of the time.
