Observation details

This individual was initially reported as White-hooded Babbler due to its unusual pale plumage. Subsequent expert feedback confirmed it as a leucistic Brown Shrike (Lanius cristatus). The atypical coloration caused the initial confusion. I thank fellow birders and photographers for their valuable input in clarifying the ID.
