Asian Paradise-Flycatcher + Japanese Paradise Flycatcher??

30/8/2008 Tai Po Kau
Canon 20D + 400mm f/5.6

The first one is an Asian, but the for the other bird...we identified it as a juv. Japanese at field due to the slightly purplish back, but looking back at my photos I am leaning more towards Asian now. Any suggestions??

Asian


Japanese

Thanks Cywong & Koel,

We first thought this was a Juv. Paradise Flycatcher when we saw it, we identified it as a juv. as we saw bits of yellow on the base of it's beak. We thought it was a Japanese due to the slightly purplish tint on it's back & we thought the juv. have more "washed out" colours.
