Southern Grey Shrike
Lanius meridionalis

(Above) Al Ruwais Livestock Farm, Qatar, 18 February 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

Presumably a February fledgling? It was in the company of an attentive and protective adult which scolded loudly as I approached; so in all likelihood it was raised within the environs of the farm.
