Looks interesting, but apparently some cage damage. For id, I need to check my books.

After checking Mackinnon's Bird of China, the closest I can find is Hill-blue Flycatcher female. The bill colour do not match well, and so the id is not definite. There are very few photos on the female of this species.

How about a strangely reddish Brown-breasted Flycatcher or Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher? Neither leg nor bill color fit Hill-blue.

One more photo from another angle. Hope this help!

I think structurally it fits Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher more, with the large bill and eyes. The dark throat and chest sure looks strange though...
