Bobby,
Was really hoping that you had muffed this ID - and that it might have been the similar Ixos siquijorensis monticola (the race is thought to be nearly, if not totally, extinct). But, you are right. Race saturatior. The bird in the foreground is an adult while the background bird still has the buff-yellow throat and a juvenile gape and so is juvenile.
