Nice clean shot Doc. Good to see you posting again. I'm not entirely sure but my feeling is this could be sub adult female tiger shrike. The black mask does not continue all the way and stops short before the eye. The crown is already showing some grey feathers.

yes you are right Madi, a bit difficult because I didn't see the back/wing.

Brown or tiger: beautiful bird that we don't see in our areas. Is Malaysia good for birding? (sorry for the stupid question).
Best regards, Marion
