Looks like White-gorgeted Flycatcher.

Female Slaty-blue perhaps?
We had captured male Slaty-blue FC ... a little before this capture ... just as additional info ...
Not found here - Rufous-gorgeted is.

It isn't Rufous-gorgeted. (I know you didn't say it was, just trying to avoid confusion)

Bluethroat sensu lato ?

Good point - I can see how that might have been confusing.
I'm really struggling with this bird and I can't believe both images show the same individual. Female/immature Slaty-blue is about the closest I can get but it doesn't look right, and female Grey Bushchat has a broader throat wedge and doesn't tend to cock its tail afaik.

It's a fem/1st-w male Slaty-blue Flycatcher and both images relate to the same bird IMO. Note combination of pale throat, eyering, warm suffusion to lower breast/sides, rufous tail along with structure + posture. Suggest the apparent dark streaking visible in both images are wet feathers? https://ebird.org/media/catalog?taxonCode=slbfly2&sort=rating_rank_desc&mediaType=p®ionCode=

About the closest I could get:
http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?Bird_ID=2662&Bird_Image_ID=124060
I think it is a 1st-winter as it's rather grey and there seems to be an orangey greater covert bar.

With a facial pattern also marked (loral and malar stripes) ! ?

They are very poor images with a lot of photographic effect at play exaggerating colours/features. This is the nearest I could find, though this individual does not have such an obvious pale throat. https://ebird.org/india/checklist/S50856366

There was a water bath where the bird dipped once ... sat on the perch in image 1 ... went into the adjoining bush for a few seconds ... came out and went to another small puddle partially hidden behind the stone ... peeping its head out ... better focused but only partially seen ... that is all I can say about them being the same or otherwise ...

Thank you all for sparing time for these poor quality images ...
