It's a Asian Brown Flycatcher.

Thank you Matthew and Gary.

Other opinion said (1) the eye sizes are not as big as those of the Asian Brown Flycatcher (2) the brid has slighter color in the breast

Whether it would possible be a red-breasted?

Actually the critical feature to tell red-breasted from Asian brown is the tail with 2 white spots on both upper tail for red-breasted, while asian brown without the spots.
