Hot day but you were well rewarded.  I think that would be an extremely early record for red-flanked bluetail (if not the earliest by a long way, 23 October is mentioned as earliest record in 2011 HK bird report).  

Could it have been Hainan Blue Flycatcher?

I agree, a blue tail is not right for Hainan Blue female, so I am not sure either! Did you see a blue tail as it is not clear from the photo?

Otherwise, I would say it is a Hainan Blue Flycatcher female.
