Hello;

Can anyone helps me to identify this bird; It looks a lot like a Troupial, but I have my doubts.

I took this picture in my backyard; Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico.

    It looks like a hooded oriel, but I'm not quite 100% sure.

    I still think it is an oriole but I will say it is an Puerto Rican oriole both this one and your pick are close but the
    Venezuelan troupial has more yellow headscratch.gif just a guess on my part .
