Hi Ziff I cant think of what it could be. What was it doing? Sometimes the bird's habits (on the ground, top of a tree etc) and what sounds it made can be very helpful narrowing the field. No need to apologise!  |

I would certainly agree with the description and name now that you mention it! The habitat sounds right too.
Good work on the ID. Nice area you were hiking as well! Beautiful.
