The names Common Stonechat and Siberian Stonechat actually apply to the same species. It is a slightly complicated situation because many people believe the birds in this part of the world are different to the birds in Europe and treat them as different species (Siberian Stonechat).  Other people think they are all the same species (Common Stonechat).

On the official Hong Kong list, the species is still listed as Common Stonechat.
