(delhibirdpix) Re:Shrike for ID

Hi Debarshi...
Nice shot and a great sighting. But it doesnt seem to be a Grey-backed
Shrike...although there are previous records of Grey-backed from CKBS
and Kolkata outskirts.
This bird in your image is the lucionensis race of the Brown Shrike (Lanius
cristatus lucionensis).
Sharing a shot of the lucionensis race spotted near my house at
Santoshpur last year in April.
 
regards
Shantanu  : )
