Different bird. Note for example the number of moulted greater coverts and the different tertial pattern of the two. Both the same age and sex though.

Looks like third bird - note the pale buff tips to all the tertials. Where are the females in that part of the world?!

Great, shot. Interesting that both you and I have had 2 Blue-and-white Flycatchers within the last 2 weeks. Historically it would seem that by November there aren't many of these species moving through.
