Long-tailed Shrike or the Rufous-backed Shrike

Description:

The Long-tailed Shrike or the Rufous-backed Shrike (Lanius schach) is a member of the bird family Laniidae, the shrikes. It is small for a grey shrike, but has a very long tail with rufous edges. The underparts are white, but with rufous flanks. The bill and legs are nearly black. This bird has a characteristic upright "shrike" attitude perched on a bush, from which it sallies after lizards, large insects, small birds and rodents. This species of bird is a popular pet in southeast Asia. Prey may be impaled upon a sharp point, such as a thorn. Thus secured they can be ripped with the strong hooked bill, but its feet are not suited for tearing. Its flight is undulating, but its dash is straight and determined.

Notes:

not sure if this is the same Shrike as I saw a couple of days ago, or not... They looked similar, though on this one the black on the wings and tail didn't seem so dark.
