Nice to see this species. Good perch and eye contact. Is this a crop? Some more details in the bird would have enhanced the image further. Thanks for sharing.

It seems you had a nice trip. I agree with Mrudul's comments. Some more details in the bird would have been great. It is always a challenge to click images of these small birds as despite having long teles a person needs to move close to the subject.

Ah ... a bar winged flycatcher shrike. Thats a good catch. There seems to be a lot of clutter around the bird. Could you have avoided it with a vertical crop ?

Hi Supreet, I wanted to keep the habitat and therefore all the dry branches as I feel it adds to the image.
