Is the tail not too long? And I would expect to see different color between head and chest.
wings dont seem to reach the tail tip either.

I think cuckooshrike is a better bet.

Those are fair points. I'm wondering if it could be Oriental (Large) Cuckooshrike, which can sometimes show a dark mask like this. I don't think it's Indochinese (which would also be rare at this site).
