Based on the white belly and lower arm pits, would it not be more likely a Christmas Island juvenile (2y)?

I don't think it is the same bird as at the Peak, as the white is much more extensive.

Here are a few record shots from a friend, one with a kite it was playing with.

Thanks a lot

Here is a snapshot of one of the terns flying. the two terns were similar. We were hesitant on the id, but as david mentionned white-whiskered the day earlier, we went for it...
unfortunately, no shot of the two together as they were hunting quite far from the road, most of the time, and I can't guarantee that this is not the same tern as the previous one.

Also saw a few red turtle doves, inside Mai Po, that I forgot to mention in previous post.
