Thanks Ashley, could not get any other pictures of his body but am staking him out!

I'm pretty sure this is either a Hooded Oriole or young Orchard Oriole. The black doesn't look like enough to be a Hooded Oriole, I'm leaning towards young male Orchard Oriole. It would help if you have any pictures of the wings? But take a look at Google and see what you think!
