adult, winter plummage
Taiwan had many species of shrike and this is a common and large one (up to 25 cm).
the upper beak had a hook at its end. Like other shrikes and flycatcher, it flies from a pole or a tree branch that is over-looking an open field, and back to the original spot. This makes the photography easy. This bird is cold-killer and the photo just showed a catch of a large grasshopper.
