Would someone help to identify this is a wildbird or not? ??? :P

There is an identification label for the waterhen, but I only saw the bird once last year.

Yes, I am also in doubt. As waterhen was seen by other birders at Hung Hom (Hutchison Park?), I'm not sure is it a wildbird also...... ???

By the way, has it got the strength to fly long distance?

I also have seen one White Breast Waterhen in Kowloon Park last year! At that time, I also feel doubtful! And I have try to ask a birdwatcher friend, he said that he also have seen the WBWH in Kowloon Park before and it can fly a long distance way gar! ;D
