Mystery bird

Could it be Orange-bellied Leafbird ? A suggestion only.

Being a newbie birder, I looked up the Orange-bellied Leafbird in the HKBWS Field Guide - published just a couple of months ago - to find that it is not listed. It does appear in the Society's Photographic Guide, published in 2020. What's going on?

Leafbirds

Ah, I forgot that, after scientific work, the leafbirds have been reclassified and ours in HK is now “Greyish-crowned Leafbird” Chloropsis lazulina.

For HK birding purposes, same bird, new name

It can be worth downloading the HK species list, also from this website
