I think it could be a Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher, though others on here are probably better placed to confirm it's id.

The large eye, with whitish eyering, the heavy bill  and the reddish tail are the features I'm going on here.  Can't really see the lowerparts very well but the appear to be much lighter than the uppers.

I'm not sure, but I think there was one at Mai Po at a similar sort of time last year.

I'd be interested to see what others say though.

Having another look Mike, I agree.  I wasn't thinking of that. It does look much more lightweight too than BC fly. Sorry if I misled anyone.  

Just as a sidenote, the "whiskers" (sorry if there is an anatomical name for these feathers) that many flycatchers (any other insectivorous birds that seem to catch on the wing) have around the base of the bill - are these to help guide any wayward insect-prey into the bill?  Just curiousity really.
