My wife and I got a long and clear look at a Hooded Oriole in a bush at
our house on Magnolia. It had a black lower face and throat, but no
black eyeline (like a Bullock's) and not a full black head (like a
Baltimore) and not a mostly patterned face (like a Bullock x Baltimore
cross). Also, it was more yellow than orange. It had a fully black
back, not streaked (like a Streak-backed). Could it be anything other
than a Hooded?

Thanks. -- Rod Brown
