Grey back and no white spot on its wing!

Grey-backed Shrike?
Or variation of Long-tailed Shrike?

Please help.

i don't see why long-tailed would necessarily have a white patch on the wing. the dusky dark morph doesn't and there are frequent intermediate variations.

Grey backed Shrike has a brown tail(not black) and doesn't have any rufous on the mantle.
