Agree Fire-breasted Andy but suggest it is an immature male.

I see what you mean but I don't see any likely alternative.....can only suggest its due to the angle of the shot.
What about a juvenile?

I hadn't considered that, only being familar with the adult. It's not a bad fit in terms of general shape and bill and tail length, but it has a pronounced eyestripe, going from bill base to ear coverts, which this bird seems to lack. There does seem to be a stripe on the head but above the eye. Is it just the extreme angle?
