[Hong Kong] Is this a Red-throated Pipit?

This is a Buff-bellied Pipit.
Compared to Red-throated, notice that the upperparts are more grey and with less streaking. It is starting to get some breeding plumage (you can see some pinkish feathers on the underparts), so the feathers of the underparts are less streaked than you would see on this species in winter and the black spot on the side of the throat is not obvious.
