May I ask what species is it? Photo was taken in Tai Mo Shan 2016-06-07. I did not heard the sound of it, but I heard Yellow-Bellied Prinia when I took this photo and also I have taken photos of Yellow-Bellied Prinia too.

It looks like it's a juvenile Yellow-bellied Prinia. They can look unlike the adults, but if there are adults calling nearby that is a good indication. Useful ID features are a fairly long tail, pale yellowish underparts, usually greenish upperparts and an obvious supercilium.
