CLOSED: What is this bright yellow bird?

Rockport, TX(Zone 9a)

Yes, another bright yellow bird has confounded me. Yellow from chin to tail with perhaps some white near the legs. May have gray wings with possibly 2 wingbars -- could be brownish though. Looks like white circle/half-circle under the eyes. I have 5 pics to share. Yes, 5 pics of a bright yellow bird and I can't tell what it is -- pathetic!

OK, I said bright yellow but it's kind of orangy and maybe turning red. I'm editing to add that some birds in this tree had berry stains on their faces and chests, so the reddish coloring could be berry stain.

A bit of the side but no head.

The butt shot -- always the most brightly lit and sharpest focus! I should do an album one day of just butt shots.
