What size drill bit do I need for white wall plug (rawl plug?) M6 26 on the top.

If drilling in to brick you need a masonry bit (not one you would use for drilling in to wood)

5mm

By the way it's better to drill a hole that it a bit too small and then go over it again to enlarge it a fraction than to drill a hole that is too big in the first place that would need filling. (edited)

Curtain holder hook things to each side of the curtain (tie backs) if that makes sense.

I’d say 5mmbut those rawl plugs look a little stout, what are you fixing and to where?

No expert here, but compare the drill bit side by side with the wall plug needs to be same size or slightly smaller maybe :/

For a masonary drill bit you need to measure at the widest point of the bit which is near the tip

Probably 6mm

I think 5mm might be a bit too snug to get the plug in comfortably. 5.5mm is probably about where you want to be.
