Cyornis (Blue Flycatcher), Khao Yai, Thailand, 2 (1 Viewer)

A female type Blue Flycatcher photographed at Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, January 2020. Altitude of about 700 metres. (Different bird from https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=385508)

Only photograph. No sound recordings obtained and it seemed to respond to playbacks of several Cyornis flycatchers. What a headache.

The strong colouration on the throat should rule out Blue-throated and Chinese, inverted U white belly rules out Indochinese. This combined with the strongly contrasting orange would point to a female Hill Blue Flycatcher?
