CLOSED: Please help identify this bird.

Fukuoka, Japan

I observed this bird, (about 14-15 cm) feeding on small insects hidden within the seed pods of a magnolia tree. Observed on 9/2/14 at an elevation of about 350 meters. Yasukogen Park in north Kyushu, Fukuoka prefecture. I am guessing it may be a type of flycatcher,(immature?) due to eye size, rather vertical perching style, and it's flitting style off flight. Appreciate any help you can give me. Kawasemi

Yes, a flycatcher, but which one, I'm not sure! Brown, female Blue-and-white, and female Narcissus all look to be options. Sorry I can't help more!
