OK, here's a link to this mystery bird:

http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=331&groupid=175774&folderid=150784&folderview=thumbs&ck=

It is LEMON yellow (not greenish yellow), NO orange anywhere, no black or other head markings whatsoever, no eye ring. This is a totally bright yellow bird, with what looks to me like a Baltimore oriole bill. The tail appears yellowish at the base and become blackish towards the distal end, and the wings are black/gray with ONE white bar that appears to be the leading edge of the primaries. This does not appear to be a female orchard oriole or a female baltimore oriole OR A FEMALE SPOT BREASTED ORIOLE! Nor does it appear to be a first year male of any oriole species I know of. THIS ONE IS TOUGH!!!
