CLOSED: What yellow bird?

Rockport, TX(Zone 9a)

I did see Orchard Orioles at a nearby sanctuary, so this could be another one, but I think it was smaller. At the time, I thought all the little birds in this tree were yellow-rumped warblers, so it fit in with them. This is the only picture.

I decided that the picture was still way too dark, so I brightened it up more. I also looked at a pic of a yellow-rumped and compared size to leaf size and then compared this bird to leaf size. I would say size of yellow-rumped, so I'm voting against oriole.

I'm editing to add that it appears to be munching on mulberry in a tree that was on the bank of a large pond/small lake on High Island.
