(unidentifiable species) Blue & White Flycatcher - male - Lamma

(unidentifiable species) Blue & White Flycatcher - male - Lamma

With my assumption this is a sub-adult male BLUE & WHITE FLYCATCHER, the obvious would be cyanomelana.... however with the somewhat washed out colours, can I lean in the direction of cumatilis?....

Hi Paul....
these 2 pics should cover most areas includung rump... only thing I couldn't see on all my pics were anticipated white bits at base of tail (topside)...
(BTW.. FYI... this coming Sunday am having brunch & "open day" at my house & pond just in case you would be interested or available..
