I've also opened this post several time before saturday without fixing any ID on it, and I have to said that the first thing I wanted to do back home was to open it again as the bird I saw during the race was very similar.
Fortunatly Huang Kai Chi of our team managed to take a good picture of the bird and it is definitly the same one, at least the very same plumage.
The contrasting crown is really particular and agree that it fit better female Ferruginous rather than Baer's, despite this is how I ID it firstly.
The bill shape and the lack of white on lower flank especially rule out Baer's...
Here another link showing a female FP showing well the darker crown :

And here the picture of Huang Kai Chi from saturday
The question is would it have made a better bird of the day?
