After reading the previous comments on the Red-backed Shrike, I would say this is a Brown Shrike based on tail length and shape, cream ground colour to the breast and belly and overall shape.

I could be wrong!

I am far from being an expert but after reading the comments on my thread re the same topic, I believe this may well be a brown shrike .. cheers

Yes, first-winter/juvenile Brown Shrike.  Note also the primary projection which is rather short (compare with the recent RBS).
