Golden-fronted Leafbird

I'd like to have some comments about my ID of this bird. I decided that's C.aurifrons based only on a bluish wash on the shoulders and a glimpse of gold on a forehead that is mostly out of sight. Are there other reliable features? Maybe a shape and a size of a black patch on the throat?

Surely a Golden-fronted LB. In north-east Indian ssp. the amount of orange in the forecrown is more and in southern Indian nominate race it is less in contrast.
