Hi BH. Whereabouts at Ho Chung was this taken - very interesting.

Dear Andrew,

It was at the first agricultural field near the Ho Chung stream (the more natural part). Mine are just some record photos, hope that you can take a better shot.

I relocated the bird today exactly at the junction of the 2 paths, were one follows the stream and the other goes up through the cultivated fields. It was associating with Scaly-breasted munias and was very confiding even if it refused to pose nicely. Here are 3 images, one showing tail condition.
