I should also note the dual undercarriage of the front landing gear. Should be strongly indicative of future carrier-based adaptation.
It's not nearly high quality enough to see the rear, the chances it's another (old?) prototype without TVC as you seem to be implying is quite implausible
Funnily this photo still doesn't definitely show whether or not there is a cockpit.
Had to be an image taken from a car. Otherwise when a random Shenyang dude sees the plane, takes off his gloves, finds the zipper, opens his coat, pulls out his phone from an inner pocket, curses as he removes his cap and scarf for a successful facial scan, the plane will have been long gone...
So maybe there would be full video coming out from dash cams?

You forgot the part where the phone turns off just as he was lining up for the photo and he has to open his backpack to rummage for his power bank and wait like five minutes for the phone to turn back on
You know your northern winter
Is this a new test flight? If it flew this close to the ground I'm surprised there's not a million photos of it on the internet.
Are me eyes deceiving me? The left nozzle looks squarish whilst the right nozzle looks more "roundish". If true, then there might a hint of 2DTVC of sorts; or testing of two different engine configurations (the latter being highly unlikely). Or just a case of some flaps at top of left engine...
Also, whilst not definitive, the belly did not appear to show the deep trough / channel in the light grey prototype
