Congratulations Abdel for the extensive range of great species in just four days!!   Clearly, it wasn't a non-birdwatching trip though !! XD

Just some suggestions on ID:

Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush -> White-throated Rock Thrush
Crow-billed Drongo ---> Ashy Drongo
3. Blue-and-white Flycatcher female --> Asian Brown Flycatcher
7. Warbler --> Blyth's Leaf Warbler
8. Minivet? --> Swinhoe's Minivet... I think
10. Ashy Drongo --> Yes, Ashy Drongo!!
12. Ultramarine Flycatcher --> Verditer Flycatcher (fem)

For the Warblers, I'm very interested in what experts have to say...!! But I suppose in the wintering grounds, the call would be a great great help...!

I haven't seen one for myself, but I thought Crow-billed is black, while your Drongo is actually dark greyish in colour (This Ashy Drongo thing has bothered me quite a while, with subspecies differing so much from leucogenys to those that look almost outright black. Shouldn't they be specifically distinct?).

Importantly as you mentioned, I thought the bill wasn't thickset enough for Crow-billed; also the proportions of your bird are quite slender - Crow-billed has a much bulkier head and even shorter tail.

However as I said I have no experience with Crow-billed - I'm happy to be corrected! ^^
