I think this is a Greyheaded Bush shrike (locally reffered to as a ghost bird due to ist call - oooooooop), and not an oriole.

You're right. White lores, thick beak with upper mandible terminating in an accentuated hook, grey head, yellow iris, throat demonstrating an deeper orangish cast that lightens to yellow on the belly. Malaconotus blanchoti hypopyrrhus.
