Thanks everyone for your attempts at cleaning up this recording. We've give=
n up on identifying the call for now. I assume it must be a lesser known ca=
ll that we have no samples of for comparison. We had quite a few suggestion=
s that sounded similar, but nothing with a matching sonogram.
Now I just have to try to understand the steps you all took so I can try f=
or myself next time.

here is my attempt - I first converted to a 32bit wav and did everything th=
en converted to mp3 at the end. Then I got rid of the lower frequencies aft=
er checking where the call was in frequency space, then used a couple of no=
ise profiles in the Audition noise reduction system, then raised the volume=
using a limiter rather than just amplitude because the peaks are irrelevan=
t (not call related) so I could go a bit higher than just using normalise. =
I could have gone quite a bit more aggressively with the limiting.
