Identify bird by its call

I am trying to identify a bird by its call.
The bird, which has a range that includes the Pacific Northwest (where I keep encountering it) has a call that goes pi-PEE-byoo (Rhymes with "McPreview"). I have never seen the bird, but it is found in suburban, rural, and wilderness settings; never in the city.

Best answer: My money is on the Olive-sided Flycatcher. I used to band birds in the Pacific Northwest and about the only call I remember is that one because I heard it all the time, and it was described as "quick THREE beers", which is too cool to forget.
