烏...秋...鵑 Drongo? Cuckoo?

I am inclined to think that this is a Black Drongo except for several points:
 
1. A Magpie once flew close and allowed a comparison. The bird was tiny! (a bit on the small side for a drongo, I'd say)
 
2. The bill seems a bit too thin (perhaps it's angle)
 
3. The wings were quite long...
 

 

 
Comments welcomed!
Sorry about the backlighted photos.

I agree that this is a Black Drongo
 
The tail of Drongo Cuckoo should be square-tipped, while many Black Drongo are moulting at present, giving a few strange patterns at this time of year.  Also there is no sign of barring on the undertail coverts.
