Lompobattang Leaf Warbler
Seicercus sarasinorum.
This is a recent split from Sulawesi Leaf Warbler (S. nesophilus), based on a range of plumage and vocal differences - the most obvious of which to me was the presence of an indistinct central crown stripe on this Lompobattang Leaf Warbler which is not found on the Sulawesi Leaf Warblers that we saw.
Although not a great photo, this bird has a very small range and has probably not been seen by that many Western birders...
