A Wood Thrush song certainly matches the flute-like part of the description and
will stop you in your tracks, but does not match the description of two,
equal-length notes.
I focused on that part of the description which would greatly narrow down
options. My first thought was the two-note 'fe be' version of a Carolina
Chickadee song, but that goes down in pitch, not up. The 'tow-hee' call of a
towhee or the 'feed me' of a phoebe certainly aren't flute-like. I'm assuming
the two notes aren't repeated as in the 'Peter, Peter, Peter' of a titmouse.
That left me with the 'peee-a-weee' of an Eastern Wood-Pewee which often sounds
like two notes with the 'a' blending in with the 'peee'. Though I don't think
I would ever describe it as flute-like.
