It appears to me colour & size of the wing patch are different from a typical Daurian Redstart. So would like to confirm if this in fact is a DR. Thank you in advance for your help.

Looks like a Black Redstart...but it is out of range....

the red patch on the wings is really strange, but many features recall Daurian Redstart more than Black.

Thanks fkm & Jonathmartinez.

Might even be the rarely seen Phoenicurus mutatio - note the suspicious head shape!
