Verditer Flycatcher?

My instinctive reaction, without checking references closely - I've just had a quick look on OBI - is that it looks more like Pale Blue Flycatcher, but we've been here before with this species pair.

Interested to see what others think - it'd only be the second PBF I think and first for 20 years.

The plot thickens!!!

Actually it was partly the bill, which although foreshortened in the original image still looked relatively long, + the "powdery" blue and grey tones, which could be a product of light etc, which prompted my original suggestion.

Agree it probably is Verditer, but PBF seems to breed over quite a wide area to the north and could be being overlooked.
