What bird sounds like this? NYC (1 Viewer)

I hear birds often in my neighborhood (Queens, New York City) but this one is new. I don't hear it often and it usually appears in the middle of the night or very early in the morning. I can't spot it out my window. Anybody know what it is?

As a former New Yorker I think I'm gonna go with Northern Cardinal.

Sounds like American Robin.

I actually thought of both of these but could not find a clip that sounds exactly like this. Maybe this bird learned a special song

Not a bird I know the song of, but sounds bang on:

I too think Robin. We have them all over here year round, flocks of 50 sometimes in winter. Always one of the first birds I'll hear in the morning, so it's good that they have some variety in song.
