    I can't find this guy in my book. A little bigger than a Bluebird - location is Illinois.

    Thanks!

    Do you have a larger image of this bird? I find it hard to identify at this size.

    Looks like a young Baltimore Oriole.

    Good call Shawn on the oriole. I was having trouble with the small image. The wings really put me off because you can't really see wing-bars- just a mess of black and white. Could it be an Orchard Oriole with the overall greenish-yellow colouration?

    Edit: picture added. He was trying to eat my orange umbrella!

    Thanks everyone! I'll post a larger picture when I can. I'm struggling with the juveniles.

    Thanks for the larger image Mark. I agree with Shawn, I think this is a Baltimore Oriole. This is because of the blackish feathers in the wing which the Orchard Oriole lacks. You bird could be an adult female or an immature male.
