Would experienced birders please help identify this bird?

Short and pointed bill,
only few streaks on the collar.
I think it's a water Pipit, a very rare bird in Hong Kong!

The bare-faced expression, sandy-toned underparts, large bill and structure identify this as a Richard's Pipit.

I also agree that it's a Richard's Pipit ;)
