Juvenile Blue-and-white Flycatcher? - Japan, July (1 Viewer)

[noujun]

Hi from Japan!

I think this might be a juvenile Blue-and-white Flycatcher (Cyanoptila cyanomelana), but I've never seen one in this area before, so I'm not sure. Can anyone help confirm this?

Thanks

Hi Noujun,
could you add an approximate location and date next time in the thread title (no revealing of nest spots..obviously)? Thanks
It looks good, though I have only online experience with fledgling JP flycatchers.
The combination of stout bill, markings on the cheek and mottled breast seem to fit (I have compared it to Siberian Blue, Japanese Robin and Narcissus Flycatcher.

best wait for some more expert comments

cheers
