Green-backed Flycatcher?

Four images of a very green looking Narcissus-type flycatcher on Po Toi today, Tuesday 10th November.

Images supplied to me by Eliza Hui, the finder. Thanks Eliza. (I did not see it!)

I don't think this can be a Narcissus [i]narcissina[/i], and in autumn, Green-backed is much more likely than Narcissus [i]owstoni[/i]

There may be more photos to come from others.

Here are two more photos of this bird, taken by the other observer, KK Chang - thanks KK.

This bird was obviously fairly tame and may have just arrived in the area. It appears to be developing a yellow throat, stronger than the yellow wash on the underparts.

We now have six or more super-close-up images of the bird so hopefully a positive ID can be made, I would guess between [i]elisae[/i] and [i]owstoni[/i]. I go for [i]elisae[/i], given the date and other features.
