October 2017. Five more I'm struggling with. Two Flycatchers (Pale or Ashy possibly?), one is definitely a Drongo but as I missed off the tail I'm not sure if it's Fork or Square Tailed. And the last is a Cisticola of some sort? Any help much appreciated.

I think the cisticola has to be Levaillant's because of the very black back and the black loral stripe.

Since both Drongos appear to be in range, I don't think you can tell with these photos

For your flycatchers: I would tentatively tend to go for Pale for the first, but the other I'm even less sure of, is Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher female possible?
