Looks like Asian Brown to me. Author: gary Time: 2/01/2008 00:12
It's a Asian Brown Flycatcher.

Thank you Matthew and Gary.
Other opinion said (1) the eye sizes are not as big as those of the Asian Brown Flycatcher (2) the brid has slighter color in the breast
Actually the critical feature to tell red-breasted from Asian brown is the tail with 2 white spots on both upper tail for red-breasted, while asian brown without the spots.

Thank you Shing.
I only have this photo, so sorry that I could not view its upper tail.
