Hi! I also thought it might be a female yellow warbler but the beak shape (and color) seemed too different. They also seem to carry themselves differently (if that makes sense). The coloring on the female orchard oriole (which I'd not looked at before) certainly looks promising! The beak shape still may not match?

For what it is worth, I think these little guys are passing through the area. They are a great flash of yellow that I don't usually see.

I know these pictures make it pretty difficult to see especially without the back showing. I really appreciate the suggestions. Thanks so much!

Maybe an orchard oriole or a yellow warbler?
