Orchard Oriole

Icterus spurius

Orchard Oriole adult males have a black head and upper back contrasting with rich chestnut underparts, rump, and shoulder feathers. The wings are predominantly black with narrow pale feather edges, the tail is black, and the chestnut breast and belly lack spotting or streaking. A defining black throat patch extends onto the upper breast, forming a bib sharply separated from the chestnut below.
