Hi,
That aircraft is just a model and not reflective of whatever is gizmo on top of the tail.
That model was an official mock up presented at the Paris Airshow by PAC and AVIC. Although not definitive, it is still a close approximation of where the JF-17B is heading. Besides, the height of the fuselage from the ground really can't be lowered any further.
ps: The tail housing contains the missile air warning sensors (MAWS), a navigational light, an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communication antenna and two electrostatic energy dispensers.
