I think this is Grey-streaked Flycatcher



But I'm not sure about this...





after seeing the photos of Dark-sided Flycatcher and Grey-streaked Flycatcher ...I feel confused for identifying these two birds.

Both photos are Grey-streaked Flycatcher.  The streaks/spots are much more clear in Grey-streaked Flycatcher.  Also, the size and proportion are different.  Grey-streaked Flycatcher are bigger and longer in proportion.

The presence of juvenile Dark-sided Flycatcher in HK causes some confusion when separating Grey-streaked to Dark-sided.  In HK, juvenile Grey-streaked Flycatchers are rare, and they are more well grown when they arrive at HK.  In Comparison, juvenile Dark-sided Flycatchers are very common.  They have white spots all over the upperparts, and with streaks on the breast similar to that of Grey-streaked Flycatcher.  So if you see clear spots all over the upperparts, that is almost certainly Juvenile Dark-sided flycatcher.
