HAINAN BLUE FLYCATCHER

I think this is more likely a first winter male Blue-and-white Flycatcher.

Do you have any more photos?

OK.

The pale outer tail feathers and blue feathers on the upper part of the wing (lesser coverts) indicate a first year Blue-and-white rather than Hainan Blue, which should be more spotty on the head, back and upper tail.

I'm not sure if Hainan Blue has ever been recorded on Po Toi, very rare at best.

I think John is right.

Sorry, Siu Ping, you'll have to change the title again!
