Seen today near a stream. Sorry that there wasn't a sufficiently clear shot before it flew away. |

Syritta yes, but not pipiens. I suspect it to be Syritta orientalis....

My first impression was S. orientalis (a species not uncommon in HK), but then the reddish orange patch on the femur of hind legs makes me puzzled, as the femurs of the previously seen individuals were completely black. |
