Isn't it female Green-backed Ficedula (narcissina) elisae?

Yeah, agree with ajohn, and hadn't quite realised elisae has so little rufous to the tail.

There again not quite totally like female nominate should look (?), and on OBI seems closest to birds listed as elisae/owstoni photographed in HK!

Had posted that while other photos were being posted - still looks a bit yellowish to me for normal nominate narcissina.

Very like a bird seen on Po Toi at the weekend which ultimately seemed equally indeterminate.

Anybody got any photos of that bird?
