Hello Billman,

I think it is Verditer Flycatcher. Pale Blue Flycatcher is a greyish blue colour.

John must be too modest to wish to draw attention to his own work, but for an excellent image of Pale Blue Flycatcher you could follow the link below. I think you'll see the difference in colour John refers to.

Just one of 251 great pics John has posted and part of what is growing into a superb resource for birders in the Oriental region.
