Olive-backed Pipit: You'll usually find it to be a olive-coloured bird that wags its tail. The white supercilia and ear spots are usually diagnostic. "Zip"s softly. Found everywhere with trees or shrubs. In the photo, frankly speaking, I could not make out it's olive-backed directly, but one could deduce as it is the commonest pipit around HK at this time of the year.
Red-throated Pipit: Sandy-coloured pipit with both boldish white stripes on the back. Found in wetlands. Balanced proportions rule out Richard's.
Zitting Cisticola: Very small, has habit of bobbing above dense grass and then dropping abruptly out of sight. The short broad tail usually identifies when perched. In the photo, it's got a striped back and small body - roundish proportions suggest the cisticola.
Wood Sandpiper: the speckled back with chocolate background, plus conspicuous supercilium are useful.
Hope this helps!
