User's notes

Immature bird. I got only a brief glimpse of the bird and was excited as it clearly had a black mask rather than a black face, so I thought it might be a white-bellied CS. But it turns out immature black-faced cuckoo shrikes are masked as well. If you look carefully you can already seen the delineation on the chest above which the feathers are going to turn black.
