I have go through "A Field Guide to the Birds of China" and "Wild Bird of Taiwan" (Land Birds). Although not conclusive (I am not an experienced birder), I would support that it is a Rofous-bellied Niltava (Niltava sundara). Not only it fits the descriptions of Divid but I find one more piece of information in the field guide that Niltava sundara has grey legs. That fits what I had recorded in my photos (not yet ready to post up!). Fujian Niltava should have black legs.
