Lompobattang leaf warbler

The Lompobattang leaf warbler (Phylloscopus sarasinorum) is a species of Old World warbler in the family Phylloscopidae. It is found only in Sulawesi Island, Indonesia.^[2] The Sulawesi leaf warbler (P. nesophilus) was formerly considered conspecific with the Lompobattang leaf warbler and both were grouped under the name P. sarasinorum, but more recent analyses indicate that it is a distinct species.^[2]
