This is not Slaty-backed Flycatcher, which has an obvious wing-bar, a shorter, paler bill, fairly uniform underparts and paler upperparts with a warmer tinge to the uppertail coverts. See:

Isn't it a female Hainan Blue Flycatcher?

so c-fu........

I think tail and bill are too short and primaries too long for Hainan Blue Flys, what about a worn 1stW Narcissus Flycatcher, maybe elisae/owstoni.

All the best,

Adult female Mugimaki for me (hence no wing-bar):

Yes, looking again I agree with Mugimaki. I was thrown because I thought they were brighter below and had more of a wing-bar, but it's a species that I don't see very often. Perhaps I should go to look for this one to familiarise myself more with the species!
