Dear Charisma,

It's a Japanese Bush Warbler Cettia diphone, a common winter visitor to HK, usually present in some numbers until a little after the date on which you photographed it.

General shape and coloration look right, and the brighter chestnut forehead and crown are distinctive.

Mike Turnbull.
