Northern Shrike
The assassin songbird.
Northern Shirkes often will perch on the tallest tree available. In this case, the tallest tree in the immediate area was not terribly high.
There were hundreds (perhaps 1,000+ combined) of flocking Horned Larks and Lapland Longspurs around on this day but the Shrike had not found them at this stage of the afternoon.
