Would experienced birdwatchers please help identify this bird? A small group was found in Mai Po on 15.08.04

I wish to try my luck to see if I can see this bird this weekend. In which part of Mai Po was this bird seen? Thanks.

I though it may be an immature / female crested bunting at first due to its huge size but the beak is a bit over-size and the body colour is not matched with the illustration in Birds of HK So, it may be a female / immature Baya Weaver. The only worry is the long nail, which is not a feature of this bird.

They were found on Border Fence Road. Thanks to Mr. X's reply. I agree that this bird seems to be a female Baya Weaver except it has a short crest.
