Cyornis Flycatcher, Guangxi, China (1 Viewer)

Singing bird at 325m on forested hillside in western Guangxi province. Hill Blue Flycatchers are quite common in the area, but this song seems quite different. There is a burry quality and the pattern of up and down and up and down seems very similar to some of the recordings of Chinese Blue Flycatchers on eBird (ML165379111 Chinese Blue Flycatcher Macaulay Library) and xeno-canto (XC212320 Chinese Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis glaucicomans)).
The bird sings near the beginning of the clip and then gives a three note short burst towards the end.
Could anyone confirm my idea of Chinese Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis glaucicomans) or offer a correction to that?

Mike
