Right image probably a Rufous - capped Babbler or Rufous-fronted Babbler. But the bill verifies in any case a member of the genus Stachyridopsis, IMHO.
Any additional photo of that bird from the side would be helpful.

I must agree with pedee I was wrong with the ID of the second bird, missleaded by the drawings in my book. Should have checked the photos in the web first.
Sorry mrmoustache for the confusion.
