I have an Oriole visiting my feeder that has me a little confused. He doesn't look like a Baltimore nor a Bullock's. I'm wondering if he is a juvenile or perhaps a hybrid Bullock's/Baltimore. Can't really see in the pic, but the top of his head is yellow. He just doesn't have the orange tint of the Baltimore.
Any thoughts?
Looks a good match for the hybrid shown in Sibley, and in OK you're in (western OK) or close to (eastern OK) the hybrid zone.
The yellow rather than orange means it is probably a one year old (first-summer) male.

I'm kinda leaning toward the hybrid. If he stays around, I'll keep an eye on him and see if his hood turns black and he takes on an orange tint. The Orioles aren't coming in like they were, he is my most frequent visitor, but really wary. Hard to get a pic.
Might need to wait to next year for the orange to develop!
