I went and saw the mystery bird today, it was just around the Bride's Pool picnic area next to the speed camera, it was hawking for insects in the area but was mobbed by three Chinese Bulbuls constantly. It sure looked weird, behaviour wise it really seems like a normal flycatcher, but feathers are in very poor condition, only the outer tail feathers are "intact", some in the middle have fallen out hence giving it the "forked" tail. It does cocks up it's tail quite often when perched. Most of all, it made a call and I recorded it with my iphone, not sure how to upload the sound file here, but I matched it with an Asian Brown Flycatcher on Xeno-Canto:

Pretty much 95% match, so perhaps it really is an Asian Brown? but yet again, the call of Asian Brown is not that distinctive and there could be other species out there that sounds similar? Got some photographs I can post later.
