Answer: Dark-Eyed Junco. Not a "song" I remember having heard before.
Sibley's says they "sing quiet, varied warbling phrases in early
spring." There is also a question of whether to call this a "song", as
that word is typically used to refer to a species' territorial song
(which for the junco is the familiar trill), and it's unclear (to me)
what role this catbird-like rambling plays.

Thanks for playing. A good number of people got it right, and roughly
the same number of guessers didn't.
