Orchard Oriole

A first for my yard. I regularly get pairs of nesting Baltimore Orioles, but Ive never had the rarer Orchard Oriole before. I sent this image to an expert at the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell to help me ID the bird. He said it was either a very old female or a juvenile male. It was here for many weeks. I hope it returns next year as a mature male. All the Orioles come for the grape jelly in their feeders.
