Plumage is sandy colour, it has a red tail.
Description #
The plumage is isabelline, the sandy colour which gives rise to its name. Male is gray-brown above with a black mask and unmarked pale underparts that contrast with a bright cinnamon tail. Female is similar, but with a paler mask, grayer upperparts, and faint barring on the sides. Both sexes have pale underparts. Young birds can be distinguished from young red-backed shrikes by the much sparser vermiculations on the underparts.
