To me it looks better for a Gray-backed Shrike, but they can be difficult to tell apart. It would help if you have pictures of its wing and back.
 
unfortunately, no pictures of the back, but a part of the wings.
Maybe it help

Regards

Long-tailed Shrike would have more black on the forehead than on this bird. Also, the subspecies in most of Yunnan is tricolor, which has a black crown and is very different from this bird.
I agree with Grey-backed for your bird.
