Pew pew pew call? Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA

Hello, beginner birder here looking for some assistance :~)

I keep hearing a bird call outside my apartment window that I am unable to identify. The sound is "pew pew pew", high pitched and repeated frequently. I saw it once, but it was only for a few seconds before it flew away (and backlit through blinds, besides!) so I don't have a good description, but I know that it is a passerine bird similar in shape and size to an Acadian Flycatcher. However, I don't think it is an Acadian Flycatcher because the voice is different and I am not located near any forest, though there is a small undeveloped area of overgrown trees across the road from my building. We're in a semi-urban area and I've heard him in the morning and early afternoon. He doesn't seem to be phased by the warm weather we've been having recently (80-100 degrees F, if that's helpful). I will endeavor to get a recording the next time I hear him, but in the meantime, any thoughts as to what this bird could be?

Thanks in advance for any help you're able to offer!

Take a look (or hear) at Eastern Wood Pewee:http://xeno-canto.org/browse.php?query=Eastern+Wood+Pewee+(Contopus+virens)+42&species_nr=kenytz

Wow thanks for your speedy reply! Yeah, that's definitely close in pitch, but the call I'm hearing is a more rapid "pew pew pew" whereas the Eastern Wood Pewee is more drawn out. Each "pew" is identical to the others. The speed of each of the pews is approximately similar to the metronome link below (maybe it's a bit faster, but I'm going off of memory). The pitch is the nearly the same as the highest note in the Eastern Wood Pewee.

Try Cardinal or tufted titmouse

Sorry I didn't see your reply until today. I think you've got it dead on with tufted titmouse; it's a perfect match! Thanks so much for solving my mystery bird!
