Two notes with a real rattle undertone instead of one pure note and one pure soft rattle.  Several times this bird added another doublet to this phrase: -- __ And once it uttered a long very abnormal WS which was almost pure doublets, very roughly comme ca: -- __ -- __ -- __ -- __ more reminiscent of the WS of the Buff-throat described on Mar. 16, p.1 or the WS of the Blue Tanager.  All the WS's of the Streakeds that I have seen were given from a posture like this [[image-drawing of bird calling, accompanied by the following notations: Wings drooped. Tail depressed a little with each note.; Bill inclined slightly upward.]]

Today, I have watched a Buff-throat singing long phrase with the usual number of Saltator notes, but I could confirm the fact that there was no rattle undertone with any of the notes, or any substitution of rattles for the notes.  
After a burst of WS's, this bird began to utter doublet CN's.  Much like those described on Mar. 16, but perhaps thinner, weaker, more whistle-like.
