I think it's easy to figure out the brightness of the background sky light source, it's easy to contrast the bottom of this huge body into darkness without so many details.No equipment in J-XDS, which was shot when the weather was clear before, could capture the bottom so clearly. Those clear bottom details are because the sunlight can illuminate from the lower part of the fuselage at higher latitude and later time. This photo does not show such conditions at this time.
We've had 2 photos and 1 video at different times of the plane in flight, and they have been consistent with each other. None of the PLA watchers on the CN side that I know of have a problem with it.
That image looks consistent with a different angle of this flight (see post below), but with contrast turned up a bit.

A scaled down drone model with movable wingtips was tested in wind tunnel back in 2010.

Trying to judge, I think it is more credible than the picture disputed above.
I don't have a horse in this discussion, but what about that image is more credible? The details all look consistent between the pictures, it's just that the contrast in that image is a little bit greater, and things look a bit brighter.
