Adult Lanius cabanisi measure 26 to 30 cm (10 to 12 inches) in length, and weigh between 69 and 80 grams (2.4 to 2.8 ounces), with males averaging slightly heavier than females. They are large, robust birds. As indicated by their name, they have very long graduated tails, and the typical strong heavy bills of shrikes.
