Female oriole. Hooded?

That would be my first choice as well, appears smaller compared to the vegetation than I would expect for an oriole

I agree with Fugl. A female Oriole although I don't have enough experience with Hooded to make the determination as to which species exactly.

Looks good to me. Bill shape and proportions seem fine for Tennessee W. Compare with this one:

Apart from other charateristics - bill is to small for Orchard. Tenessee looks fine!

That's a relief, at least I'm not alone. I was a bit reluctant to disagree with the local expert

 

[KenM]

The straight almost ''needle'' sharp bill is a good feature.

cheers

Local expert? Surely you're not referring to me! I almost always shoot from the hip & on a bad day get as many wrong as right!

Agree with Tennessee Warbler.

I think you're too modest, I don't see you making a lot of mistakes. Local is of course a relative term, with the vast distances involved I'm probably as close to some parts of North America here in Scotland as some of the locals are to each other.

Agree with Tennessee Warbler.

Me too.
