I also saw a Seicersus warbler species, but I couldn't find out whether it was a White-spectacled Warbler, a Bianchi's Warbler or a Plain-tailed Warbler.

(I went home and read from some older post that we could differentiate the Red-breasted Flycatcher from Red-throated Flycatcher by the upper tail covert and the base of the lower bill. I find from the photos that the base of the lower bill of this bird quite dark so I guess it is Red-throated Flycatcher. Please correct me if my identification is wrong)

I think is probably the female Hainan Blue Flycatcher seen a few times last week. The bill is long and dark, the breast is washed with orange, and the tail looks reddish.

Thank you for the information!

I think a flycatcher I saw at the same spot on 23-12-2012 was also a Hainan Blue Flycatcher female (shown in the photos below). (Probably the same bird.)
