Is this a flycatcher?

Is this a Ferruginous Flycatcher? But the head is not grey, as described in Guide Book or Photographic Guide.

15-01-23 MPNR, before reaching the AFCD office.



Poor quality front view:

How about a Daurian Redstart Female?

Thank you for the suggestion. But we had forgotten the Daurian Redstart Female seen many years ago. The white wing patch couldn't be seen from the front side. The bird also stood still while our watching it, i.e. not much tail movement. indeed it flew away after a few seconds. Is there any way to distinguish between a Daurian Redstart Female and a flycatcher?

Flycatcher always feel have a shorter foot length than Redstart or Robin I think! And stand more upright position!
You may compare with this photo!
