As this is an African native bird, so presumably it must be an escaped bird. Curiously though the tail is in fine condition, the owner must have kept it well! May be there is a better explaination.

I also saw a pin-tailed whydah at Mai Po scrape on 25th May - presumably this is the same bird.

On that date, it had not grown the long tail feathers, which would explain why they appear to be in such good condition now.

That explains it, Many thanks!
Lucky for us, now we don't have to go to Africa to see him.
