John, I would say that's defiantly a Western Meadowlark song, which,
according to Paul Ehrlich et al in "The Birders Handbook" can be given by
both species of Meadowlark. Near my home in Prescott we have a group of the
Lilian's Eastern Meadowlark, which some ornithologists are considering
splitting from the "Typical" Eastern as Sibley calls them. And I also have
some recordings of Meadowlarks made in Texas that sound like a combination
of western and eastern. But again yours, in my opinion, is a definite
western song. However the bird may not be.
