Alstrom's and Plain-tailed Warbler are the same species, just a different name.

I agree it looks like Alstrom's/Plain-tailed Warbler Seicercus soror to me for the reasons given by Mr Tai.
If accepted as this, it would be the sixth HK record and the latest date in the year.

Hi KK

I think this cannot be Martens's Warbler, the head pattern does not go far enough down the forehead.

I agree it could be Bianchis' but Alstrom's looks much better to me.
White outer under-tail feathers do happen in Alstrom's and I think that is what your photo shows.



So I think this is most likely Alstrom's but I would like to hear from others.
