Thanks Chav, I'll go with that (Yellow Browed Warbler - Phylloscopus inornatus), although must confess I was torn between Chinese Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus sichuanensis) & Pallas's Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus proregulus). FYI here are a few more images of the same bird (click on images for larger pics) 
Think that moves you up to 30 points toward a delicious bottle of red wine |

FYI, the "Crested Bulbul" (previously shown) is registered in the most recent edition of HK Birds as the "Crested" Bulbul, but in previous editions as the Red Whiskered Bulbul. According to "Clements Birds of the World" - the name is shown as "Red Whiskered Bulbul". Much the same as: Chinese Bulbul = Light-vented Bulbul Scaly Breasted Munia = Nutmeg Mannikin (picture below)

Sorry Zep - gotta deduct ten points for yr attempt at the Tailorbird. Had a serious misgiving at the time because of the different colouration from the image I posted on Page 2 of this forum. Seemsour above mentioned bird is a Manchurian Bush-warbler (Cettia canturians), locally known as "Chinese Bush-warbler" - another one wintering down here from Siberia or Manchuria. & not to be confused with the Japanese Bush-warbler (Cettia diphone) which is part of a "split group" with slightly different colouring. Mind you, as it spends a fair amount of time on Lamma I see no reason why it can't be called the Lamma Bush-warbler However you can have 5 points for effort - bringing you back upto 94 - sure you can still taste that delicious bouquet even though it's slipped from your grasp just that tiny little bit. |

That's ok Zep, I think we can move on. Perhaps with this one you can redeem yourself & you can get past that magical 100 point mark
