The Shrike, by Masudur Rahman

I took this shot of this nice looking bird at Fallitoli, North Halishahar, Chittagong, Bangladesh on December 13th 2014, just 3 days before our independence day, during our weekly birding. This shrike has a long tail, thick eye-band extending above the eyes, grey cap and mantle, black wings and tails, white throat, and rufous underparts.
