What bird is this "2"

Seeing you guys were so good at identifying the last photo of a bird, maybe someone could tell me what this one is.

It likes to hang onto the window ledge and look at itself, but this too is not in our new book.

Thanks in advance.

Leon

PS. also in the Darwin area

Yellow Oriole. Some call it a green Oriole but it is a variant of the yellow.

There are a few races in Australia, we have the sagittatus in S/E Australia.

Leon, it's an Oriole but I'd need to see more of it to be sure which species. It is probably the yellow but could also be the olive-backed. Did the yellow continue all the way down the front or was it white with dark streaks on the abdomen?

What are birds? We just don't know.





Cheers

Thank you once again, there is a wealth of knowledge out there.

David, the yellow did continue all the way down
