Do you have more photos of this bird?  The distinct yellowish wash to the underparts suggests it might be a 'Standford's' Minivet, i.e. a hybrid between Swinhoe's and Rosy Minivets.

Difficult to tell, and it may simply be my screen settings.  Any photos of the back/upperparts?

A very interesting bird!  Irrespective of the extent of yellow below there is clearly some pink in the tail. Whilst this is a Rosy Minivet feature, it is a male Rosy minivet feature and yet this bird is clearly a female and (sexually dimorphism) hybrid birds don't (never?) show a mix of male and female plumage traits; think for example of hybrid ducks.
