Sounds like it may be an Immature Male Orchard...the female doesn't have the black patch.

Here is the Immature Male Orchard.

edited to say...I hope I am right about this if not someone please correct me! Thanks.

Possibly, but it really seemed to be a female. I don't know how to describe it, but the females have a distinct body and head type, compared to the males. Also, its color was decidedly yellow, rather than the rusty orange of the orchards. Wish I could have gotten my camera out before it was gone.

Wish I could have been more helpful Jeff...hopefully someone else can help. I can get easily confused with the two different Orioles we have around right now!

Is anyone "in town" getting these Baltimore Orioles? I SWEAR I heard and saw an orange flicker this morning. I put out oranges.
