yellow bird in a tree

At first I thought this bird was a blue and yellow macaw, but I don't think the colouring is correct. Maybe someone has some idea?

Sorry, a bit too far away for me. It has a bit of a cuckoo shape, but that's just a guess. Posted 9 years ago

  It might be an oriole blackbird (Gymnomystax mexicanus), but I wouldn't stake my life on it. Posted 9 years ago

    I think that is quite a good candidate, known to occur in the north east, colors match, and so does the size. Posted 9 years ago

      On my list that I made of ' spotted species ' I have written oriole blackbirds so that fits.
      Accordingly I have taken the liberty of identifying it as such. I will see if I can find another photo of it.
