[Hong Kong] Is it Green-backed Flycatcher female ?

Is it Green-backed Flycatcher female ?

The two photos of this flycatcher were taken on Potoi Island on 9 November last year.  Is it Green-backed Flycatcher female?  Thank you.

Sorry that I didn't ask last year because I didn't have the account at that time.

The exact date is 9 November 2013.  These two photos are the best that I have - other photos have similar posture but less clear.

Thank Wilson and John for the comments.  After reading more bird guides, I agree that it was a Narcissus female, according to <<A Field Guide to the BIRDS of South-East Asia>> of Craig Robson, which states that Narcissus female has mottling on throat-sides and breast.

Geoff, I replied your email.

Vivian, I suppose it was the same bird, although your photos were taken at a different time from when I took the two that I posted.
