Iduna (?) Warbler from Pakistan (1 Viewer)

[Tragopania]

Hello everyone!

I took this single photo of a warbler in the Swat Valley, Pakistan this August. I'm unsure of which Iduna it is. We are inclined towards Sykes's Warbler but we are not too confident. Any feedback on the ID would be appreciated, perhaps some ID tips too.

Thanks in anticipation!

A very testing image Azan, the subject partially obscured, but that said, I'd not hesitate to call it a Booted based solely on head/face/bill pattern; broad supercilium extends above and well beyond eye, dark eyestripe and dark-tipped bill.
