Unsure Wagtail at Mai Po fish ponds?

Photographed yesterday around the fish ponds.  At first I thought it was a Grey Wagtail and then checking the book changed my mind to Eastern Yellow Wagtail (race tschutschensis ). Can someone confirm?

Whislt this is certainly a Yellow Wagtail, I would not like to ascribe it to subspecies.  Tschtschensis (or simimilla as it used to be called in HK) is a blue-headed wagtail, and shows a very narrow supercilium.  The other possibility taviana shows a broads, but yellow super, this bird fits neither!
