A water drop sounds like this …
… but that noise was made by a bird. (named at the end of the recording: XC148304 by Gary Stiles.)
It’s my favorite bird sound from Panama, made by a black-bellied wren (Pheugopedius fasciatoventris).
In his preferred habitat the wren is hard to see. Mostly black and brown, his white throat looks like a splash of sunlight from below.

But he’s easy to hear. When he really gets going he doesn’t sound like a water drop at all. This long melodious song (xeno-canto XC15653) was recorded by Don Jones on Semaphore Hill Road, the road to Canopy Tower.
The “water drop” is just a tiny snatch of song.

Hey I had a same type of experience few days back. Im from India. How may I send you the voice recording so you confirm what exactly it was. Please reach me out soon.
Abhishek, unfortunately I won’t be able to help with your recording because I’m not familiar with the birds of India. The bird I wrote about in this article was one I heard first-hand in Panama.
