Yes I have! ... but I promised not to publish it. All I can tell is, that it is indeed a two-tone scheme with light grey undersides (IMO looks not that good!), the very blurry serial number looks like 22-112 and it maybe has a unit badge (Cobra) on its tail.

IMO it is a single airframe in camo, and the others will remain in grey only.

Ok guys ... as promised, after I received the "go - let's publish", here it is!

I must admit, I'm not entirely sure concerning the serial number - IMO it could be 22-112 - and if there is indeed some sort of a tail marking.

May you decide on your own.

Ok, today is the last day I critisize on the PLAAF J-10 camo, this is...

 

[Sinnavuuty]

A J-10B on static display at Changchun Airshow. Note the pair of laser-guided precision/smart bombs hanging from the innermost wing pylons (@xyqq).

Two 500 kg LGBs.

What is XL-XF91?
What is KL-KF91?

What pump is this next to the Guidance/EW pod on the central pylone? Could it be a training bomb?

I think both are XL-XF91 (anti-radiation yj91 from the looks of it), and the intake pylons have ecm on the right and I believe some kind of anti-radiation targeting pod on the left that provides bearing and approximate range of radars, similar to the HTS pod used on F-16CJ. Center pylon is empty as far as I can see.

Interestingly it doesn't carry a targeting pod for the LGBs so I'd hazard a guess that a second aircraft will be lasing the target?

China should ban further export sales of J10 to Pakistan on purely aesthetic grounds!
