1. I think it is a Yellow-throated fulvetta as well.
2. I too think so.
3, 5, and 6 are the same bird right? I think this is a black-winged cuckooshrike.
4. Not too sure. Perhaps hoary throated barwing.
Please wait for an expert to confirm though.

3, 5 and 6 were different individuals clicked at different times.
 
I agree with Yellow-throated Fulvetta for no.1.

I think both nos. 2 & 4 are Rusty-fronted. No.4 looks a bit odd (wet feathers?) but you can see the rusty-brown forehead, and Hoary-throated has a mosutachial, a dark bill and pale tips to the greater coverts among other things.

I don't see an alternative to Black-winged Cuckooshrike for the other images. None of them looks heavy-billed enough for Large and the slightly bluish coloration and dark flight feathers are better for Black-winged IMO. No.3 is a tricky image but you can just about make out the broad white tips to the undertail-feathers.
