Hill Blue Flycatcher or Chinese Blue Flycatcher?

Hill Blue Flycatcher or Chinese Blue Flycatcher?

2017-Mar-02, afternoon
京士柏遊樂場
King's park Recreation Ground

I think it is a Hill Blue Flycatcher because it favored lower perch and I couldn't see any shining blue rump and shoulder flash.
(According to "The Birds of Hong Kong and South China", p.196, "...lacks contrasting shining blue rump and shoulder flash..." and "Favours low perches...")




However, its call was like the sound record of Chinese Blue Flycatcher found in:
http://www.xeno-canto.org/species/Cyornis-glaucicomans

I heard that most of its call were in three notes but occasionally one note and this is my audio record:

Any idea?
Thanks.
