B-b Shrike ... (Lanius vitattus)

A bird, I posted
quite sometime ago ...
( ... Feb. 2012 ...)

... collected some more
images since then ...

Smart looking ... nice and
subtly colored Shrike ... as
Shrikes are, usually ...
this one is found in
Indian Sub-continent ... and
some adjacent areas in
Asia ...
In field conditions it
may sometimes be
confused with relatively
more common
Long-tailed Shrike ...
... white wing-patch on
primaries and bright grey
crown and nape are good
distinguishing features ...

One can observe him in
a small video clip
done at the same time ...
