If we follow the storyline of the books of Ezra-Nehemiah, wouldn't the high priest at that time be Eliashib (Neh 3:1, 20; 13:28)?Ah, yes, I missed Eliashib and Joiada in my list of high priests. I note now also a genealogy in 1 Chronicles 6 ending with Hilkiah, Azariah, Seraiah then Jehozadak at the time of the Exile. Then in Ezra 3:2 and Haggai we have Joshua son of Jehozadak. Nehemiah 12:10 gives us a further genealogy Jeshua - Joiakim - Eliashib - Joiada - Jonathan - Jaddua. This may be the very latest historical record in the Hebrew Bible, at least if we don't discuss Daniel.
