Difficult to say in this condition.
But the scaly pattern on the breast can be barely seen, which point the species to female Yellow-rumped Flycatcher, in consideration of the season.
Actually the unusual spot on the forehead looks identical to the Yellow-rumped showed on other thread in this forum.

Can it be an Asian brown flycatcher? As i can see it has yellow base on lower bill.

I agree with bond - I would prefer Asian Brown Flycatcher.

Thanks Gary, Bond and Beetie. No matter Asian Brown Flycatcher or female yellow rumped flycatcher, it is still my first shot even the quality is poor.
