Yellow Bird - Corpus Christi, Tx. (1 Viewer)

Think we're at the early stages of fall migration and today, I did a quick scan of my backyard bath to find this soaked bird finishing up a bath. Only got a a couple shots before it flew. Sorry no dry clean shot available. Hoping it returns later today so I can get more pics, but wanted to see if there's enough elements to make an ID.

Dark wing contrast to yellow of the bird could mean Scarlet Tanager female but not sure.

Bill isn't really tanager-shape. I'd guess it's an orchard oriole.

Agree on Orchard Oriole! One of the earliest migrant songbirds in North America, too.
