I saw this one yesterday at a lake. I took quite a few shots, but this was the best angle of him. It was hopping around in the tops of some tall trees, and I'd say it's about the same size as a Dove, Brewer Blackbird, large BlueJay. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a female Baltimore Oriole to me.

I only thought it looked like an Oriole, but you are most likely correct!

Thanks, Flo & Greg! I was only seeing pics of male Orioles, that's why I didn't think it was an Oriole. I actually saw my first Oriole (a male) the same day, and this looked nothing like it. They're both beautiful birds, I wish I saw them more.
