Would experienced birders please advise on whether this is a female Reed Bunting? If not, what is it?

This bird shos the typical chestnut cheek patch with a black border along the rear edge of Little Bunting.

Also Reed Buntings in Hong Kong have a very "fat bill" Little Bunting has a slim and pointed bill for a bunting.

Cheers
Mike
