This is Pale-legged or Sakhalin Leaf Warbler.

The legs are pink
The head is grey (unusual in Arctic Warbler)
The bill has a small pale spot at the tip
The lower mandible of the bill is not yellow with a dark spot - it is darker (except for the pale tip)

I also saw one at Kwun Yam Shan today.

Cheers

Mike

Mike! Thanks again! :D
But would you mind tell me what is the difference between Pale-legged and Sakhalin Leaf Warbler?
So I can pay more attention on and help me to distinguish between them next time! Thanks a lot!  :D
