I agree with Purple Finch. I've heard this call many times high overhead at hawkwatches.

File attached.

Someone already thought it was a Purple Finch.    Anyone agree or disagree?

My guess is that the bird was smaller than a American Robin.

There was either a single call or two paired together as shown in the
attached jpeg.

Duration < 20 ms, which is much much shorter than sparrows. I ran
through everything else that I could think of that would reasonably be
flying around (I was hoping for American Pipit, but that didn't
match.)

Frequency was in between 3-4 kHz.

Sincerely,
Andrew
