Flycatcher ID @ Wonderland Villas

Flycatcher ID @ Wonderland Villas

Photo taken today, an either immature or female flycatcher seen at around 3:30pm. My guess is Blue & White, but somehow the structure seems wrong for me. Also, the timing for B & W seems wrong. My other guess is juv. Fujian Niltava, which I think the bill structure fits a bit better? There was also a Verditer around the same area, but it looked slightly larger when compared to the Verditer. Just some wild guessing, so any suggestions and advice are welcome! Thanks!

Thanks a lot Brendank!! Perhaps the pale bill makes the bill look slightly larger then usual? Either way a new species for Wonderland Villas, so 2 new species on 1 day!!

It is true that it stayed near the ground, I even thought it was a Rufous-tailed Robin due to it's "tail flicking" behaviour at first sight(which I have seen with B & W before). It is a tad bit rounder then other B & W I've encountered before.
