It look like a flycatcher but can't found any match in "The Birds of Hong Kong and South China".

I think it's got to be a female Red-flanked Bluetail Tarsiger cyanurus (a kind of chat, not a flycatcher btw). You can see the orange-flanks and the blue-tail.

We can't see the clearly demarcated whitish throat patch, but that seems to be due to the angle of the head.
