An interesting bird. Is it a female or 1st year male flycatcher?

The white eye ring and the yellow throat patch make identification difficult. The lack of white markings on its wing eliminates the possibility of female Yellow-rumped flycatcher. It doesn't look like a Narcissus flycatcher either.

My best guess is female Mugimaki flycatcher or Red-throated flycatcher. The black shade on the bird in the photo should be some shadow cast by the branch above.
