I listened again to the original and it still sounds like a crested pigeon to 
me.  I happened to be standing near one today and it produced a very similar 
call.  Not the rapidly repeated call of an excited male, but a single up-down 
"woo" with a long gap.  But as Peter said previously, the microphone used 
wasn't ideal and there's a lot of background noise, so it's hard to be sure.
