Great list, Joe! The recording is excellent and is an example of what many books call the Eastern Wood-Pewee "fall call." Your waterthrush looks like a Northern with these field marks: smallish bill, crisp streaking on underparts, darker brown (than Louisiana) on upperparts, supercilium is straight, isn't bright white and doesn't flair at the back, curving slightly toward the back of the head. Streaking/no streaking under the chin can be variable. There are different populations of Northern Waterthrush, with some smaller and more yellow than others.
