I'll get in just ahead of lpaul, perhaps, and observe that it is presumably a first winter male, with those pale tipped coverts and in its underpart patterning, but it seems very early to be in this plumage. Plus the bill, of course!

A bird photographed by Peter and Michelle on 25 March 2006 at HKU (on OBI) is pretty similar.
