Asian Paradise Flycatcher

Sorry for the poor quality as it is far away and it is very dark that day.

Upperpart colouration is quite maroon rather than rufous.

I looks more like Japanese Paradise Flycatcher to me - that would be the first December record if confirmed. I would be well worth trying to get more photos.

Thanks for your reply Mike.Unfortunately it is the clearest photo I got. The other photos are darker and somewhat the same.

These photos are original and no alternation was made except cropping into smaller size.

Initially I thought it might be Japanese Paradise Flycatcher, as it was not as shiny as what I saw before. But I heard from others that there was an Asian Paradise Flycatcher found there, so I think it might be the same one. I shall leave you the experts to decide.
