Thank you. Would that be a cert. please?No books here but female Baltimore Oriole?
On a live NC bird cam…does rather point to Andy’s suggestion.👍Please could anyone help out with the i.d. of this bird I have seen live on the North Caroline bird cam:
Thank you so much. I hope to visit USA one day, and hope my prep will help when I do.On a live NC bird cam…does rather point to Andy’s suggestion.👍
Thank you for your answer. I shall patiently wait and see if anyone might confirm your helpful suggestion, so as to tick itI'd suggest a Pine Warbler.
Well it's a warbler, not an oriole: at least for me...Thank you for your answer. I shall patiently wait and see if anyone might confirm your helpful suggestion, so as to tick it
Thank you for this helpful information which makes me lean strongly to Pine WarblerNever seen any of them, but they just can't be that similar--it says here (Pine Warbler Identification, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology) and here (Baltimore Oriole Identification, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology) that Pine Warblers have white undertail coverts, while Baltimore Orioles have yellow.
EDIT: The bill also looks quite different in these unrelated species (and body & head shape and proportions, too).
Hope this helps as well: Photo + Sound Quiz - eBird.Thank you so much. I hope to visit USA one day, and hope my prep will help when I do.

They can, I'm afraid - certainly in a single poor-quality (no offence) photo - and for all the usual reasons: angle of view, posture, light, etc etc etc. Birds may look clearly different one from another in a field guide, but in the field it genuinely is possible to mistake anything for just about anything else.they just can't be that similar . . .

Yes, definitely a Pine Warbler, as others have said. The white undertail and double wing bars combined with a substantial bill are all good ID features. Time of year also key as Pine is resident whereas most migrant warblers have not yet started moving north.Male Pine Warbler as suggested by others, bill looks fine for that species to me
