What bird call is this?

Bird call identification help please: a simple, slow melancholy three note call, then five - very clear notes, no warbles, chirps, trills etc. in descending pitch (eg. ti la so, ti la so-so-so)
I thought by going to the bird call id pages it would be easy to figure out, but they seem caught up in very complicated songs. I've heard this bird many, many times while hiking in Ontario and I've never known what kind it is I'd greatly appreciate your help.

There are more sites out there with recorded bird calls! Good luck!
Apologies if this is not an appropriate answer.

your description reminds me of the redwing blackbird, which drives me crazy.

My wife will be so proud! She's the birder and this is just about the only bird call related questions I could answer.
I used to always hear it while on hiking trips and it always filled me with a sense of calm.

There was an Ask MeFi about this exact same bird before, albeit described somewhat differently.
