It is a Blue-winged Leafbird, which I believe have been around for more then a year now, I have seen it from time to time.

They do look a bit similar, Golden-fronted lacks the blue wings and forehead is bright orange instead of yellow. Obviously both birds are out of it's natural range, closest natural range from SW Yunan, making them likely as escapes in HK. I believe as with many caged birds found in bird market in Hong Kong, a lot came from Burma.
