Bullock's Oriole

Icterus bullockii

Description:

This bird was so very elusive, hiding in the branches of a tree. I waited for nearly 30 minutes for it to show itself but it refused to. These were the only shots I could get. Hope they are enough to identify it.

I agree Joshua.
I had seen a hooded here. The bullocks briefly and it had a lot of splash of white on wings,

The eye stripe is a dead giveaway. I've seen plenty of hooded orioles.
