Zappey's Flycatcher?? Seoul, South Korea, April 28th (1 Viewer)

Hello,
I saw this and thought it was a juvenile blue and white flycatcher but then found some information online about Zappey's flycatcher. Could anyone tell me if this is Zappey's?
Thanks

The tone of blue on the upperparts, especially on the mantle, greater coverts and tail, strongly suggest Zappey's. It looks a bit dark around the face and throat though. It's not intermedia if this individual is anything to go by: https://www.shanghaibirding.com/tag/zappeys-flycatcher/

However, check this page out as well to see how similar intermedia and cumatlilis can be: http://www.birdskoreablog.org/?p=17917. Note what the writer says about morphological differences and clean flanks.
