Have You Seen a Brown Shrike?

One of the birds that I have been taking pictures of is the brown shrike. From afar, it looks like a yellow-vented bulbul, but upon close inspection, it doesn't have yellow feathers on the underside of its tail. It also has dark feathers around its eyes. Unlike the tree sparrows, glossy starlings, bulbuls, and sunbirds, the brown shrike isn't noisy. I haven't yet heard it calling other birds of its kind. I usually find it sitting quietly on twigs perhaps enjoying the warm breeze or watching people passing by the nearby street.
