I am of the opinion that this could be Brown-cheeked fulvetta (Alcippe poioicephala). However i need to confirm this!

It doesn't look much like a Brown-cheeked Fulvetta - but I'm not sure what it is.

Yes, it doesn't look much like a Brown-cheeked Fulvetta- But I'm at a loss as to what it actually is. Looking forward to finding out!

Perhaps just a lighting issue? Scroll down there a couple of similar examples here.

If one ignores the apparent yellow tones to the under-parts it looks OK.

Yes, an image in row 20 taken by Vaibhav Gokhale looks similar.
