Last time Keol guess right. This mistery bird is Mongolian Finch.

May I ask how to differentiate juvenile Swinhoe's minivet from juvenile Ashy minivet?

Dear Koel,
To my knowledge, the color of the rump is a good feature: Swinhoe's has a pale rump. In adult plumage, the male should not be too difficult to separate. I guess information on juvenile like this one is rare. That is why this photo could be of some importance.
In Wuyuan, Swinhoe's Minivet breeds at lowlands (below 100 m). I believe Ashy Minivet has not been recorded there.
