Iduna warbler from west India (1 Viewer)

Hello all!
Back in 14th of January 2022, I was on a trip in Kutch (Gujarat, India). At our lodgings, I saw a little brown bird foraging in the Casuarina trees. The bird also was making a 'click' call that is common among all the LBJs here. The behavior, size, head shape, etc all leading to Sykes's Warbler (I. rama). The bird showed a tail movement (up and down) sometimes while moving (in the pictures attached, please see DSC_0385 which show the tail to be missing but is actually up). The bird then uttered a new type of call (uploaded as Iduna sp_02) which I hadn't heard before. On going through the call recordings of Sykes's Warbler in the Macaulay Library and Xeno-canto collections, I couldn't find a match. Wanted to get opinions on this bird since there has been always a probability of Eastern Olivaceous Warblers visiting India. Solid proof hasn't been collected though yet. Please see below attached images and call recordings. Also attaching the eBird checklist wherein the bird is listed as Iduna sp. : https://ebird.org/checklist/S100745114

TIA,
Dhyey

Visually this looks like Sykes's to me, and the dry "tkk" call, like two pebbles being clicked together, in the 2nd recording sounds typical. The calls in the 1st recording are unfamiliar but I see no reason to call this an EOW.

Thanks a lot! Closing it as Sykes's Warbler. The longer call confused me but the click call was sounding like Sykes's!
