Immature Large Niltava?

I remeber that it was a pretty common bird when I was there.

I find the subtle hues of these blue flycatchers hard to judge from photos due to artefacts, so go Verditer

Thanks Andy and Brian. I had a Verditer Flycatcher earlier (see attached) and the colour is different. So Large Niltava seems to fit better.

As Brian suggests they are Verditer Flycatchers, with some artefacts, all but the 3rd image are immatures, note pale lores and bill bases. Note also the tiny bill.
