Greater racket-tailed or Crow-billed? Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo (1 Viewer)

Location: Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo
Date: 20-May-2022

I cannot be sure if this bird is Greater racket-tailed or Crow-billed Drongo. It is not making any calls. There was another Greater racket-tailed nearby.

All 3 photos are same bird.

Thanks.

tail and bill shape = Greater Racket-tailed.

Time of year would also discount Crow-billed, which is an extremely rare winter visitor to northern Borneo - I've yet to see a record with a photograph from Borneo (one on ebird is a Bronzed Drongo), though there are a few specimens.
