When I was in Pakistan (1995) we saw birds just like this; the fieldguide we were using called them "long-tailed shrike", I don't know if there have been more recent name/taxanomic changes.
Avibase lists three different Lanius species as Long-tailed Shrike, in addition to species from other genera. Perhaps it is time for someone to clarify by use of scientific name which LTS that has been meant (without knowing anything about the birds of Pakistan, I am guessing Lanius schach).
The OP shows what is generally acknowledged to be called Long-tailed Shrike - Lanius schach which at present comprises several different subspecific groupings, ie Rufous-backed, Black-headed, etc
