I'll answer my own question: having scoured all the field guides I own to places I can't afford to travel to I think it's a Black Bulbul (India to S China, but only northern Indochina).

Beak is too long for a buffalo weaver, it doesn't match any starling or

would have thought a chough would look chunkier.
