This photo was taken just before a male Fork-Tailed Sunbird turned up so I'm assuming this is a female? Neil. Hong Kong Park, Hong Kong, China. 16/12/05 Nikon D2x plus Nikon 300/2.8 AFS VR lens

You're right - it is a female Fork-tailed Sunbird. The white terminal spots on the underside of the tail are diagnostic, within HK at least, and maybe anywhere. Mike Turnbull
