Does this mean it escaped? I hope it is not problematic for the bird's survival.

Thank corrections !

The pale bars on the tail being much broader than the dark, and the notably brown streaks on the sides of the chest (rather than blackish) indicate this is a Japanese Sparrowhawk, rather than Besra. It seems relatively long-winged too.

It does appear to be an escape from captivity; however, it may have escaped some time ago, and not necessarily in HK.

Cgeoff,

Thank citation detailed analysis !

I agree it is a Japanese Sparrowhawk.

PS: I checked carefully.It's obvious throat line,only faintly visible and concave central tail feathers.
