Since it is in backlighting position, so it shows different body color with the image painted in the “birds of Hong Kong” book. Right?   The bird was seen in picnic area, Tai Po Kau on late afternoon, 17 May 03. Actually it was very far away and in backlighting position.  It covers only 10-20% of the original photo with my 10D(1.6x factor)+500+1.4x combo (=1120mm). Digiscoping may get a better magnification.   There should be two of them. The other one was heard only by its echo to voicing of this one.
