Green-backed Flycatcher 綠背姬鶲

The pattern of the coverts/tertials and the apparent contrast between moulted and unmoulted greater coverts would suggest that this is a first year bird. I would be surprised if females were this bright in the first year, so I agree that this is a first year male.
The remaining question is whether that confirms this to be Green-backed, or whether owstoni is still a possibility.
