I hope someone can confirm my id from this description: total black head(hood like).. light buff colored breast with slight dark brownish red coloration that was repeated on upper wings.. the underside of about the bottom half of the tail was very light or white in color... My thoughts are a male orchard oriole, not yet showing the mature coloration...a beautiful song and he thrust his head back sharply each time he sang. I could not see his back at all. No scope yet - but I do have new binoculars, Nikon Sporter I. One step at a time. At least, I can see what I hear, even if I can't capture it with my camera. Location: southern Louisiana near small lake - stayed in treetops. Thanks.
