Tounguing trouble in altissimo

Author: Musikat

I am playing a piece that requires me to tongue a fast 16th note repeated 7 times on high E above the staff and then D. I can do it, but sometimes the note pitch doesn't stay consistent as I toungue: it goes slightly flat. If I just hold those notes they tend sharp normally for me.

As I am practicing this piece, any advice on what to do to improve this? I am trying to be aware of whether my embouchure is moving a bit during this, using more air support, etc. I have no problem fast tounguing any other register but once I get above C it is more challenging.
