I think the orangish wash to the throat and the lack of a blue half collar would suggest the female is a Vivid Niltava.

Some photographers today also reported a possible male Vivid Niltava. Hopefully we will see some more photos of that.

Do you have any more photos of the male?

The orangish wash to the face and throat of the female would make it Vivid for me. See
