6 and 7 look like a Common Fiscal (shrike). The bill is notably hooked and 6 shows a very long tail, plus a very shrikey posture.

They are surely very similar to Fiscal Flycatcher.

Agree with lockbreeze926 . The first few are Fiscal Flycatcher(finer bill with no hook at the end) ,. 6 and 7 show an obvious hook on the bill so are Fiscal Shrike. Your Boubou is good
