Juvenile Male Blue & White Flycatcher ?

Not sure, but think it is a juvenile male Blue & White Flycatcher....

Yes.

Some good flycatchers (and photos) on Lamma this autumn Guy.

Technically, this is a first-winter male rather than a juvenile given that it has completed post juvenile body moult.  The only true juvenile feathers showing are pale tipped greater coverts.

There seems to be a little movement of Blue-and-White Flycatchers today as I had one on HK island today.  I would have expected the peak migration for this species to be over at this point.
