I need some help with identifying a bird. There was this beautiful bird at my feeder this morning. At first, I thought it was an Oriole, but it wasn't really orange, more of a deep, golden color, but with black markings similar to an Oriole. It was looking for fruit, but rejected the cranberries outright. Of course, I immediately put out some orange segments, and the bird came back, only to be run off by a Red-wing Blackbird. I've been watching to see if it returns. I hope so. Any idea what this bird might be?
I checked my guidebook and the only ones I came up with that matched your description was the American Goldfinch and the Orchard Oriole...
