Hi, Horseeagledog!
 
Are you the young man who was shooting birds next to me in Tai Po Kau today?
 
In my humble opinion, I think this bird is a grey-throated minivet. The yellow breast and belly indicate that this one is a female. For male, the colour is "scarlet" red

After seeing your post I am quite sure we are shooting the same bird and I am the one shooting next to you.  
 
I know quite little in bird classification, and after some discussion in Owen's newsgroup I was told this is a  '灰喉山椒鳥' and I search in yahoo with the Chinese name and got the English name. After getting your comment I look into a few more search result and seems people translate both Grey- and Yellow-throated minivet to the same Chinese name. I think Grey-throated minivet should better match the color of this bird.

Yes, according to Avibase Yellow-throated Minivet is another name for Grey-throated Minivet. There are also other names as well, e.g. Grey-chinned Minivet and Mountain Minivet. However most people here call it Grey-throated.

Thanks Horseeagledog!
 
It appears that the term "Yellow Throated Minivet" is popularly used in Taiwan websites for describing the same bird.
