Which Minivet? North-east Thailand (1 Viewer)

[jack2964]

Took this awhile back and still unsure of its true ID. I think it could either be grey-chinned or long-tailed. Or am I completely wrong?
This was taken at a temple ground adjacent to a low hill in rural Thailand (Korat/Nakhon Ratchasima). Elevation is estimated to be around 300m.
Help gratefully appreciated.

I'd say Scarlet, due to the isolated yellow on secondaries.

Do you have any more pics, even if only at a slightly better angle showing the wings more clearly? Inclined to agree with Dalat, but it would be nice to see that yellow in the wings he refers to a bit more clearly, in case it's not where we think it is! And the bird is a bit of a funny colour somehow.

Thanks Dalat and Larry. Unfortunately, I don't have anymore pics at a better angle. I think Scarlet sounds good given the elevation of this sighting.

Something's niggling me about this. I'd like someone to reassure me that it's definitely not a Rosy Minivet

Rosy Minivet

Yes, I was also considering that, it's quite pale overall...

I think it probably is a Rosy - http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?p=1&Bird_ID=2284&Bird_Family_ID=&pagesize=1
That pale tertial ghosting on the OP's had bothered me, when was this taken, I think Rosy is normally a winter visitor to Thailand.

If it's any help, the photo was taken on 27th Nov., 2010. I would be delighted if it's a Rosy as that would be another tick for me. I've managed to find another pic which is pretty similar to the first except this has a slight tilt in the bird's head which I hope may help. Thanks to all.

I beg your pardon...silly me attached the same first photo. I'll try again here.
