Shot this one at Pimpalgaon Joga, near Malshej Ghat in Maharashtra, early in the morning, perhaps around 7 am or earlier.

Nice perch. Difficult to confirm and yet it looks like Rufous-backed Shrike (Lanius schach). Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

The Rufous Backed Shrikes are also called Long Tailed Shrikes. I believe they are slightly, only slightly larger. I agree, its difficult to confirm.

Cute bird. Nice perch and eye contact. Slight off-centered composition would be good. You can upload a bigger image upto 1000 pixels on the longest side (less than 300kb) to help in viewing and critiquing. Thanks for sharing.
