J-16H?
Actually I don't think so even if I assumed it to be a naval bird.
If I'm not mistaken, then this one below is a regular Block 4 PLAAF J-16 assigned to the 98th Brigade.
some recent high resolution photos ...

Already posted on the last page.
I must admit, I'm not entirely sure - esp. since that image is too blurred - but could be that these J-16s featuring the new light-grey coloured radome are indeed already Block 5 aircraft?
It seems a bit as if the construction number on this J-16 is '0502' ... and also, I never noticed this detail on the pylon's front.
