The tipton Hawfinch is the latest reported in what appears to be seasonal movement?

For those unfamiliar with their flight call http://www.xeno-canto.org/388462

To my ears it is a lighter, ‘tinnier’, call than i would expect from a bird of this size but maybe i am more familiar with Bunting-type noises...

Ears to the skies.....
