You will find that the panel has a more rounded shape on the Su-35s, indicating the newer Link-16-style S-108 datalink.

A few more images of J-11BG (the PLAAF just calls it J-11B).

Looks like it has glass nose. Some kind of laser/optical device?

I suspect it is a training guidance pod meant for missile launch training (without having to actually launch anything). Given it's on a Su-30MKK, it is probably one of the training systems for Kh-29 or Kh-59.

Indeed, it is called KAB-500Kr-U and is a training device for the KAB-500Kr, KAB-500-OD and KAB-1500Kr EO-guided bombs.

Minor update…. Rugao has „converted“ to J-16 but as it seems, no longer with the 86th AB, but with the 7th AB, in which the 86th was allegedly merged and finally relocated to the new base at Rugao.

Is that a J-11A powered by WS-10 turbofans?
