Baltimore Oriole adult males show vivid orange and deep black plumage, with an orange breast, belly, and rump contrasting with a black back. The black wings carry a conspicuous white wing bar and narrow white feather edges, while the tail combines orange with black central feathers. A solid black hood covers the crown, face, and throat, meeting the orange underparts along a sharply defined boundary.
