A HK guy posted the following image to a digital photo newsgroup, together with spotted dove and some other doves.
 
What can it be? I really have no idea.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

It's a Celebes (Sulawesi) Magpie. They can be seen in the aviary at Hong Kong Park.

This is also known as White-necked Myna in "Birds of Wallacea";  - Streptocitta albicollis is the latin name.  
 
It is fairly common in the Nature Reserves at Tangkoko and Dumoga Bone ( in Northern Sulawesi ).  However, that race has an all-black bill.  This specimen will be from southern Sulawesi ; the bill has a yellow tip.

Thanks to you all.
 
I don't know where and when that guy took the photo.
 
But I can also remember that I have seen this in aviary at Hong Kong Park.
 
Anyway, it is interesting to study more about it.
