Today, I saw this songbird which can be seen on the attached photos.
I am not sure about its ID. Maybe a red-backed shrike (female)?

Thanks!

I really don't think it's possible to ID it. The way it sits on that pole might point to Stonechat/Whinchat. Would be a bit early for RB Shrike I suppose.

Thank you for the answer! Indeed Whinchat might be possible (because i saw a male one only 20 meters away), but if I remember it right, this songbird was "too" unpatterned for a whinchat in my eyes
