You're right!

Wow, quick response.
I'm a Japanese.
The scientific name of this kind of cicada is "Meimuna opalifera".
But usually we call them "Tsukutsukuboshi", because they sing "tsukutsuku-boshi, tsukutsuku-boshi, tsukutsuku...".
They appear only in late summer, so I guess you recorded this sound in August or September.
Thank you for your great recording.
Forgive my rough broken English.

No, it's not a bird.
It's a Tsukutsukuboshi cicada.
