Is the Y-8 really that big ???
images are not to scale.
p3, without the mad sensor is some 31-32 meters long. with it, it is around 35 meters long.
p-x is some 38 meters long with the sensor
y8 is some 34 meters long witout it, so with it could be similar to px, definitely not over 40 meters.
p8 is biggest of them all, 39 meters without mad sensor. (not present on usn planes but present on indian planes)

Another Good Guess Party Started-Your Guess Is As Good As mine.
Pretty sure that's from a KJ-2000 parked behind the airliner. The two lengths of metal that's supposed to connect the radome to the plane isn't even orientated correctly.
The Issue Here, KJ-2000 or Something New?
Regarding the colour of the radomes I would say it is more likely the modified Y-8AEW with its new KL-2000-like arrangement.
If this is the case, it would be the rumored KJ-320.
