I agree it is a Pygmy Wren-babbler (now Pygmy Cupwing) rather than a Shortwing.
Juvenile PWB are plainer and darker than the adult (see another here: [url]http://www.hkbws.org.hk/BBS/viewthread.php?tid=25138&highlight=pygmy%2Bwren%2Bbabbler[/url]).
Juvenile Shortwings are spottier, as with other chats/flycatchers: [url]http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?Bird_ID=2456&Bird_Image_ID=159494[/url]
The absence of a tail and bill/leg structure also fit PWB better than a shortwing.
Great photos of a species that is always difficult to see.
