I first heard the bird 'singing' a wispy, rising and falling, ethereal song. It was not all rising or all falling like Swainson's or Veery. But it's autumn, so that doesn't seem diagnostic. It was in a dense stand of Chinese hollies, but when I used GCTH playback (Sibley phone app), it flew up into these deciduous trees. Grayish face with gray lores (would be buffy on SWTH). Narrow white eye ring (would be buffy and wider on SWTH).
