A short visit to SRF after work produced more prolonged views of yesterday's Dark-sided Flycatcher, two Mugimakis, and a phyllosc seem in terrible light but which appeared to be an Arctic Warbler (all in the same tree!). The only other passerine migrants being an Asian Brown Fly seen and a Brown Shrike heard.
The photo of the Dark-sided Flycatcher below is not great, but it shows the key features quite well - note the long wings relative to the tail, the concave bill sides and the limited pale base to the bill, the whitish sub-moustacial, the "checkerboard" effect on the breast and the sharply defined white throat. The overall ground colour is significantly darker than on Asian Brown Flycatcher.
