Sorry that only part of the bird can be seen in the first photo.
Thank you!

Don't have a bird guide for Bhutan or India and my IDs should be taken with skepticism, but my guess for the first bird is a Black Drongo. Pretty sure it was that time of year when the outer tail feathers are growing back in, so the tail shape is less typical.
I have some suspicions about the second bird based on head and bill shape, but I've never seen a bird with this sort of moult pattern / colouring. Author: xiang88 Time: 19/01/2020 18:57
Thank you very much, Thomas. I have more photos and 2 videos. But the quality of the videos are poor (out of focus). See if this can help in identification:
Doing some digging around and photo browsing, I think it's a Himalayan Treepie. Grey on the back of the head, brown back, white rump, chestnut undertail, black wings and tail. Author: xiang88 Time: 20/01/2020 15:04
Thank you again, Thomas. Your explanation is very clear.
