[cobirds] Stumped by Bird Song in Yuma County

Hello Fellow Birders,

 

   Sunday I encountered a bird song that I can't figure out.  The bird was in a small grove of some green/some decadent deciduous trees, all that remains of an old farmstead about 25 miles SSE of the town of Yuma and about 20 miles WNW of Idalia.

 

   It was a simple, seven note song, short whistles in two alternating pitches.  First note was higher, second lower, third higher, etc., ending on the high note.  It reminded me of a Tufted Titmouse "Peter" song but slower and always seven notes.  I never got a good look at the bird, the only 'jizz' I got was it seemed about the size of a tanager or large finch and seemed to have a seed-eater's bill.

 

   Any suggestions or ideas would be gratefully received, please contact me off-list.

 

   Thanks!

 

Keep Smilin',
