No ... must be either for a new one or a newly delivered bird, but all so far in that mixed 66th Brigade have full colour serials.
I hope for the Naval Aviation ....

Even if I'm the one who might ruin the party, I'm still sceptical ... at least as long as I do not see any 62x0x-serial number.
All images so far - even those shown at Wuhu - are clearly showing these J-20As numbered with 7827x-numbers ... so they are still assigned to the 66th Brigade.

Going to add. The J-11 should be better than the J-10 in slower speeds, as deltas and low aspect wings tends to lose more lift over loss of air speed. A J-10 needs to maintain its high air speed and having canards reduce the energy bleed during turns, which pure delta forms like the Mirage 2000s tend to suffer from. The Mirage 2000 do have an added strake near the engine intake that is intended for vortex generation and reduce energy bleed during turns. Better lift at slower speeds with high angles of attack, makes the J-11 a better "dog fighter", and the plane's high TWR can quickly regain energy and position. The J-10 has to function more like a boom and zoom, and planes with low aspect wings also tend to have a fast roll, that the J-10 pilot needs to exploit.
J-11B used electrical countermeasures against the J-10B during the contest.
On a side note, Huitong claims that J-16s have been deployed near Chongqing.
