Sorry 9Wi, but your bird looks more like the subspecies intermedia of Blue-and-White Flycatcher rather than a Zappey's.  Do you have photos of the underparts.

This looks similar in colouring to the bird I had this spring on south Lantau that I initially claimed as Zappey's but later concluded was intermedia.
