KK,
Can I suggest you look closely at the head pattern to solve this one.

Dear KK,  
 
One key field mark is the while eyebrow that is broken at the end.  
 
A cross-check at the Bird of China photo gallary should help.   http://www.cnbird.org.cn/

Thanks HF for the further clue!
 
It points to an Orienfnl Tree Pipit Anthus hodgsoni.

Thanks Bob!
 
So the equation is ...
Olive-backed Pipit = Orienfnl Tree Pipit = Anthus hodgsoni  
id solved!
