Raymond,
Thank you, so it is Luscinia megharhincos only, and there is no frog. You a=
re absolutely shure that the files in xeno-canto you posted are only the Lu=
scinia megharincos call and no frog in it? The "croak" is  in the Luscinia =
repertoir for shure?
Regards,
Jos=E9

 a different direction might simply be caused by its lower frequency (its a=

 difference alone will cause a different directionality. High-pitched sound=

physical size of the sound source.
