Is this a grebe?

Is this a grebe?

Digiscoped at the duck ponds at Mai Po on Monday.  It looked grebe-like in the face but looked big for a Little Grebe. Neil.

It is a Little Grebe.

Size seems normal to me.

Hello
Seems a little grebe; either a big one or another subspecies.In HK, it's normally ruficollis poggei, maybe another winter vagrant, capensis, philippensis ?
