Hi Thomas,

I think this is an Asian Brown Flycatcher.

The overall tone is not right for Brown-chested, which has a darker, more olive tone overall. Also, the wing-bar is not right for Brown-chested - it may perhaps show a faint one when fresh, I just don't know, but I don't think it'd ever be as well-marked as this.

Finally, Brown-chested shows a white throat, and a bigger bill.

Otherwise they are similar!

For one picture of Brown-chested, look under Neil's posting "Unknown birds at Mai Po" posted about ten days ago on the Bird Identification thread.

Lovely picture all the same - must get myself a proper camera - just can't get shots like this with my five-year old Coolpix!

Peppen, Mike,

Thanks for your reply! :)

The white balance make me confused.
I corrected the white balance:
