At first I thought it was Black-winged Cuckoo-shrike. But when I see this image, it seems its wings got bluish color and no white patches on its tail. So, what is this bird?

Sorry, this is the only image I got.

What size? Could it be Verditer flycatcher?  Andrew

Don't remember, as I was attracted by few Grosbeaks....

I also think it may be Verditer flycatcher but not sure about it.

Looks like a Verditar Flycatcher to me, but information on the undertail covert will be very useful.

One should always remember that id with a photo is often difficult because one lose some information that is easily available when you see that bird in the field. In the field, you get a much better feeling of the size and colour, and behaviour is often important to determine what species group a bird belongs to.
