This bird was seen in MIA Park in Doha on October 15. I think it's a masked shrike but would appreciate any input.

Hi Kim and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. I've moved your post to the ID forum as they're better placed to be able to help you.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

I think the black on the crown would be less patchy, I believe this is a first winter for that reason.
