Flycatcher ID Please

This looks like a red-flanked bluetail, but my guide is outdated and is missing many species like Red-brested, Taiga and many others in HK. Can anyone help me identify this one?
Thanks,
The Bird Guy

You can just see that the tail is black and white, which suggests Red-throated (=Taiga) or Red-breasted. These are similar and difficult to separate. On this bird the bill looks all black and I think it is Red-throated.
