“Tris dark hazel, bill black, feet black or greenish black.” 
We*noticed this handsome shrike in great numbers at 
Batavia and Buitenzorg in Java, and also in Padang in Sumatra 
and along the coastal road as far as Tapan, where we branched 
off into the jungle. On reaching the Korinchi Valley, it was 
again abundant in the open land throughout the length of the 
valley, perching on the telegraph wires and on dead branches 
affording an open view round. It seemed to feed largely on 
grasshoppers and on more than one occasion we have seen it 
successfully pursue a Dragonfly. In the jungle country it did 
not, of course, occur. i 
Certain variations occur in the width of the black frontal 
band, one or two specimens having it much wider than others, 
while the rufous tinge on the flanks is much deeper in some, 
depending largely on the age of the plumage. The wing 
measures from 89-94 mm.
