An interesting looking bird, the colouring of of magpie but if you had not identified them as Magpies I would have guessed they were Shrikes (based on beak and head shape)

Hi Neil @ndwgolf
For my peace of mind I looked into why it struck me as Shrike like and found the following.
An oriental magpie is very similar to the UK Magpie.......so I kept looking for Shrikes.
That lead me to the Magpie Shrike as shown here https://ebird.org/species/magshr1
I hope you find this information of use.
