Please refer to the pages on "chats and thrushes" in the bird book.  

Hope you would find this helpful. ;)

Should it be a common stonechat (male)? However, it is different from my previous record as below.

I am a newbie just trying to participate. Please excuse me if my suggestion looks like a wild guess.

Can it be one of the reed buntings e.g. Chinese Reed Bunting judging from the plumage of its black head and light brownish breast, and more importantly in this case the beak shape?

Second thought. The beak is slighted decurved at the tip which is not consistent with that of a bunting. Furthermore, it is less round than that of a bunting. Hence, I would change my suggestion to a stonechat.

Ku, Madsen & CarrieMa,

Thank you very much for your input. I do believe it is a common stonechat. The color different may be caused by lighting source.

Million thanks for your attention,

Cupid
