Female hooded oriole (Icterus cucullatus) in coconut-palm crown, El Cuyo, northern Yucatan Peninsula, Gulf of Mexico
I found guidebooks and websites misleading concerning the plumage and bare parts of the female hooded oriole. I am grateful to Wayne Withers, Engilis Photos and Brennan Mulrooney for engaging with me in the debate which enabled the identification of the bird above to be confirmed. They were responding to the original title for this image which began "Unidentified oriole..."
The breeding range of the hooded oriole is restricted to parts of the western United States, Mexico and Belize.
