- 2 years ago
Long-tailed shrike “Lanius schach” is also known as “Rufous-backed Shrike”, which is medium size bird. It is about 24-25 cm in length. This shrike is a member of the bird family Laniidae.
Long-tailed shrike is an Asian vagrant (breeds Central and South Asia “Kazakhstan to New Guinea”) southwards and eastwards). Recalls a rather drab Great Grey Shrike at a glance, but straightforwardly distinguished by relatively longer, narrower, and more pointed tail and rufous rump and upper tail coverts, with off-white underparts shading to warm buffish-orange on flanks. Its crown and mantle are dull greys, scapulars are washed with rufous, and wings are blackish-brown with rufous feather fringes.
