Flycatcher --Japan (1 Viewer)

Good evening!

I found a few flycatcher photos in my photo library. They were taken in October of 2012 at Aichi, Japan.
I'm quite sure "2" is a female narcissus flycatcher.
However, I'm not sure whether "1" (3 photos) is a narcissus or a brown flycatcher.
The beak colour seems to resemble brown, but I think j. narcissus also have that beak colour. The eyering is honestly not too distinct, but reasonably visible. I am not great at identifying with the back colour, where it's supposedly olive coloured for narcissus? The tail feather area doesn't seem too reddish.

Any comments are welcome! Thank you!
