 Bird Ecology Study Group, Nature Society (Singapore): Arrival of the Asian Paradise-flycatcher
Asian Paradise-flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi), also known as the Common Paradise Flycatcher, is a migratory bird wintering in tropical Asia.
Asian Paradise Flycatchers are in reality not flycatchers, to begin with, but are closely related to the monarches, philentomas, which in turn are closer to the crows, yes the big bad house crow, and other 'crows' like drongos, orioles, cuckooshrikes etc etc, than to the true flycatchers.
At a biogeographical level, it would not be apt to say that the asian paradise flycatcher is purely a migrant to tropical asia, as many resident populations actually occur here.

 BirdForum - Flycatcher ID please
You are absolutely right that one way to differentiate between Asian Brown and Dark Sided is the differences in the length of the primary projection.
By distribution also, Kashmir is busy Dark-sided territory at this time of the year and Asian Brown would be a great rarity.
But I strongly believe that this is without doubt a Dark-sided Flycatcher even while considering that Asian Brown can always be a confusion species.

Use of hyphens in such cases makes it clear to ornithologists and birdwatchers that these are group names, and not j ust adjectival names used for birds.
For example, by use of the hyphen in Tibetan Eared-Pheasant, one would immediately know that the Eared-Pheasant is a group name, otherwise one could presume it to be a descriptive name as in Asian Brown Flycatcher.
I n this case, Flycatcher is the group name and }{\i\f69\fs18 Brown}{\f69\fs18 (or }{\i\f69\fs18 Asian Brown}{\f69\fs18) is the descriptive name.

His strategy was to check as many seasonal waterholes (tropeangs) as possible on the way to some larger wetland area, and one tropeang finally paid off.

Several other species would have taken much more time to sort out, such as one of the blue-backed red-breasted flycatchers of which there are several species differing very little from one another.
Another was a tit-like, small, grey-headed and crested bird with an olive-yellow body and tail and no eye ring, which I have not identified even though I saw it well and repeatedly.
