Help needed to clean up a very short recording

Good afternoon,

Would anyone have time to do a better job of cleaning up a very short
recording ? Or to tell me what to do ?

A while ago, I already mentionned on the list an interesting Bullfinch
subspecies (Pyrrhula pyrrhula ...?) that we have been able to hear in
Belgium for several months.
A few weeks ago, I was able to record a duo of our native Eurasian
Bullfinch with one of these "aliens". However, a water pump was making a
loud noise in the background :-(

I have tried to clean up the recording and to generate a sonogram that
would allow to compare the 2 calls. But I am not very happy about the
result... I ended up going back to a sonogram of the raw recording.
Would someone have a few minutes to try and clean up the short (wav)
sample I have put online ? Or to tell me what I should do to make it
better ?

The longer mp3 is the one I have filtered heavily. The sorter wav is the
original with just a 20 dB amplification. It was used to produce the
accompanying sonogram.

Any help/comments/advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

DL
