Is this a Japanese Paradise Flycatcher? (Singapore) (1 Viewer)

Hi!

Is this a Japanese Paradise Flycatcher, as opposed to an Amur or Blyth PFC?

I note the inverted U-shaped demarcation between the breast and belly, faint rufous flanks and the somewhat sooty back.

I am hoping I'm right as the Japanese PFC is a rare migrant in Singapore.

Thanks!

Affirmative lowressgbirding, combination of colder, darker brown upperparts (lacking rufous element), brown pectorals and inverted U-shaped demarcation between breast and underparts confirm it as Japanese PF.
