Hi Marcus  
 
This si aan Asian Brown Fycatcher (probably a juvenile - hence the markings on the breast)
 
How can you tell?  The bill is very broad and pale at the base (the scientific name is Muscicapa latirostris - latirostris means broad-billed)
 
Cheers

No. not a juvenile which would be very spotty on the upperparts, but a first winter.  I.e. a bird that has undertaken a body moult from juvenile plumage into an adult like plumage but has retained juvenile greater coverts.
