song description Pine Barrens New Jersey, USA (1 Viewer)

I have been surveying the pine barrens where prairie warblers are quite common right now. This morning I heard a song with a similar sound that crescendoed, but the song was much shorter (about 4 very brief phrases) and less raspy sounding.

Can someone help me ID this warbler that sounds slightly like a prairie warbler? I have a recording and I have listened to it several times, but unfortunately I don't think that I can upload the recording to the computer. Thank you!
 
If you have the recording on your computer, you can upload it to here. If you need to get it to your computer and can't upload it there, a lower quality way around that is to play it into the computer's microphone, while having the computer record. Even a low quality recording is a big plus.

A Northern Parula has an ascending song - you could try that for starters.
 
Prairie Warblers will sing a shorter song, still pretty raspy though.

Listen to it here.

As Randy said, a recording would be a big help.
