This is a female Niltava sp. and a very interesting bird.  Based on the amount of blue on the head and neck I wonder if this might be a Large or Vivid Niltava?

Did you get any impression of the size?

Cheers

My initial thoughts was Vivid as well...all black bill and the head patterns and shape etc. Females Niltavas are always tricky though...

The size is near Verditer Flycatcher. It is larger than other flycather, so I can see it far away.
