Thanks John

I dont have another better shot as the bird just appeared for few seconds.
I have post the photo to HKwildlife too, and some of the birders also agree that it was a Kestrel.
I the first impression of mine to this individual also fell into Kestrel but I was not sure as the environment there was quite dark.
