Descriptions
Identification
Call frequency of the recorded bird seems to range from ~4.4Khz to ~4.6Khz. Pale-legged warbler was ruled out as it did not exceed 5Khz. Note on the attached audio recording: I used Audacity for amplification and noise removal. I can send the original if needed. I'm new to spectrograms.
Habitat/behaviour

Viewing conditions
The weather was hot. I didn't see the bird, but it sounded like it was calling from above the mid-storey.
Observer's experience
None.
Observer's experience w/similar species
