Bay-backed Shrike

The Bay-backed Shrike is a medium-sized shrike native to the Indian subcontinent, from Pakistan to Myanmar. It is recognized by its chestnut-brown back, grey crown, black mask, and white underparts with a pale rufous wash. Like other shrikes, it perches prominently on bushes and wires, hunting large insects, small lizards, and rodents.
