For benefits of non-Chinese readers, words in red:-Allegedly an image of the new J-15 (catapult variant) from a different angle – too blurry for me to tell. It came from an official SAC blurb about completing the test flight 16 days ahead of schedule.
1) 16 days ahead of schedule for completing the (planned) whole year's batch productions and test flights.
2) Annual delivery of batch production (numbers) reach a new historical height.

Hmm are there any features on the image which suggests it's the new J-15?
Because the cockpit area looks more like a twin seater (J-16?) to me, and deliveries of new production aircraft all have to be flight tested before delivery as well
I had a similar idea, but not so much due to the cockpit (even if I agree) but more due to the taller tails.
Second try a bit better I think; I would say it is a J-16 with the lighter grey/white radome
And the nose landing gear, too, is indicating that it is not a J-15.

Could be just the angle of view.
No, these are the typical taller tails of a J-16, ... I'm almost 100% sure.
But if you don't agree, please show, I like to be corrected ...
Even the front landing gear doesn't matches.
