For the moment to be conclusive that image is surely still too blurry, but IMO it looks indeed like a J-20A's more beak-like radome and it is surely no longer yellow.

It does look to be faintly yellowish to me.

Nozzle doesn’t look like WS-15.
I don't know whether it's WS-15 or not, and we can't really tell from this angle and quality.
However that Hurin account is terrible because their tweets are never written carefully. The guy needs to stop posting because he's actively making things worse by spreading non-verified information and making claims that he tries to wriggle in a way as if they are legitimate.
Despite the downplaying by the USA, the J-20 seems more like a missile than a plane to me. It has a unique aerodynamic configuration because, compared to Euro-canards, the foreplanes are much wider and the wings are much smaller. I wonder if this could positively influence its stealthiness.
