http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streak-backed_Oriole
A rare winter visitor to Arizona from Mexico.
Approximately 8 inches tail to head.
A rare winter visitor to the Southwest United States.
Mainly to Southeastern & western Arizona and Southern California.
Some might confuses it with a Hooded Oriole like when I was photographing it.
Many in the group told me, oh, that's just a Hooded Oriole.
I thought that was just great, because no one crowded in around me while I was photographing it.
The Hooded Oriole has a bared back and the Streak-backed has light broken streaks which I shall try to show.
