Hi Dylan and Paul

- here are some shots of the underparts - only one of the Northern House Martin, then four of what I think is Asian.

Asian is more compact, and, as you know, often is darker on the flanks and rest of the body, but this is a variable feature.  (and according to "The Avifauna of HK" there are two possible AHM races to occur here..!)
