White-rumped Shrike

Also known as Northern White-crowned Shrike. There is also a Southern White-crowned Shrike that is now (depending on the authority) called simply White-crowned Shrike. They used to be considered a single species, called White-crowned Shrike. Ha! This is not confusing at all.

 

The namesake white rump is visible in flight. The Southern White-crowned Shrike looks nearly the same, except it has a gray rump instead.
