Band-bellied Crake is very rare in Hong Kong. The bird in the photo is Ruddy-breasted Crake, which is an annual winter visitor/passage migrant to HK - but still always good to see. There have been at least two birds on one of the ponds at LV recently.

By the way, I think there is a typo with the date...!
